Phone numbers we have forgotten,
the numbers we remember
that no longer have a place
and would be foolish to dial.

The house number
in which we were raised
erases itself with us.

The numbers which love
dialed but no one answered.
Those that fell silent
like friendships.

The numbers that exist
in another dimension
now all the same number.

So many phone numbers
For one life.
They are all calling me.
Each one an emergency.
