"I never wanted to say this..."
The phone flatlined in my hand
but I knew
what he was going to say.
His face was hidden
yet
his voice...
...could never lie.

How often has this happened to all of us. I'm not a free verse poet but I'm fairly good at imagery and I can recognize a poet who is gifted. This poem is wonderful.
Love,
