I miss you.”
Four words caressed
her ear. Tugged at her smile,
her soul.
“Darlin’”
whispered through the telephone,
her pillow, the darkness.
“Darlin’”
husky and low,
he let it slither

Let it wrap around her body,
her vitals, her.
“Darlin’”
echoes in that Cheyenne blue,
that 1,000 watt grassland
sweltered into ash.
As her sweet “darlin’”
let her too.
