> open line

Longing for a land line

to tie these in betweens
hold us past together    
stay connected when on leave

hear the soothing  dial tone       
distance softened by your voice       
hold on tight before you hang up 
stay in service while you're gone

I need this real connection
whether copper wire or string
Something solid and well grounded
to cling to and believe
