All of our most important conversations happen
in Midnight Phonecalls.
You, whispering, shivering.
Words falling over one another in the rush
to escape your mouth
before you are caught
and sent
to bed.
You, opening, truthgiving
Saying things I need to know now that the dark has
given you courage
just to speak to me
without
reserve
All of our most exciting conversations happen
in Midnight Phonecalls.
Me, listening, trembling
Ideas forming in my head, resolving into
pictures which ignite
imagination
in me
and then…
Me, questioning, querying
Probing you for your ideas, delighting in your
clarity of thought.
Generosity
with your
feelings
All of our most special conversations happen
in Midnight Phonecalls
Except
perhaps
the ones
that happen
in
bed
