One A.M.

 

The phone rang

and drowsily I mumbled 'Hello?'

'Faye, Faye? This is David

'Poppa...Poppa?'

'I just wanted to tell you that it is so beautiful here.'

The voice faded and I jerked awake.

The phone was not in my hand

It had not rung

but the voice was fresh in my mind

and I am sure that it is so beautiful there
