Last Night’s Phone Call
Last Night’s Phone Call
Black crow cries as the mourning flies
Fan stirs a current into the sky
Nabokov’s Blues keep me awake
Bless the chores, I do not have to undertake
Roll over on your side
the snore of the Moon will lie vacant,
the place beside your pillow.
NOTE FROM THE MISSED CONNECTIONS CHIEF BOTTLE FINDER:
Thank you to Bridget of Butterflybot for submitting this piece – as anyone who writes a blog knows, it’s wonderful to receive comments and have others participate in your creative endeavor! I love this poem and in particular the reference to Nabokov’s Blues – a biography exploring the famous author’s life passion for South American blue butterflies. The pursuit of rare and delicate beauty often leads us to strange and beautiful places, wouldn’t you agree?
