sounds good on the phone.
for the first
few minutes.
alive
and well is in his voice,
but in time
he falters,
he hesitates with words,
he coughs and clears
his throat.
he tells me
that his balance isn't
what it used to be.
his eyes
are blurred, his hearing shot.
but he's not ready to let
go just yet.
Esther's coming over
on sunday.
