do not go gently into that good night

i can hardly ever get my father
on the phone.
who is 93.
he's always
snuggling with his new girlfriend
Esther.
who just turned 87.
it rings and rings.
i try the cell, the land line.
nothing.
he truly is going out not with
a whimper but
with  some sort of
bang that i try not to visualize.
