the bigger picture
nut.
placing comfort in tensed body
words clasped in death grip
inhale, exhale, inhale
then silence
yet your frantic screams
can be heard,
scarcely.
the phone
between neck
and shoulder
the strain
the discomfort
the comfort of you
at the end.
hearing you there
was all i need.
exhale, inhale, exhale
silence.
