Just a Phone Call Away
She walks in my direction,
A switch in her hips, head held high,
Heavy purse on her shoulder.
One hand holds a pink and white IPhone,
The other a set of earphones.
Long and slender hands, brown
Like Hershey’s milk chocolate,
Shove the electronics in the purse carelessly.
I’m just a phone call away.
Those generous hands,
With the gold rings on each ring finger,
Shift towards me, elegant fingers wriggling,
Sugar with just a dash of spice.
I’m just a phone call away.
Those strong palms enfold my face.
Soothing.
Her thumbs rub my cheeks.
Home.
It’ll all be okay. I’m just a phone call and a couple of hours away.
