i.

it's been almost a year again.
you haven't been calling, and
i haven't been answering.

the leaves still have not begun to fall.

ii.

i am known for soft hair, skin, words.

i am known for half finished stories
on frost covered benches, absent minded
i love you's, and never being what
you're looking for.

i am known for seventeen syllable
apologies, twenty dollar bills, and
poems about nothing but you.

iii.

it takes me two minutes and thirty-one seconds
of the dial tone to realize that you are not here,
you are not here, you are not here.

no, i would not like to make a call. no, i would not
like to hang up and dial again.

iv.

i am not angry with you for never writing me that
song that you said you would. i am not angry with you
for giving me recyled poems and used i miss you's.
i am not angry with you for not understanding that
my eyes and hair and thoughts are dark like some
thing not worth making a metaphor to. i am not
angry with you for never loving me the right way.
i am not angry with you. i am not angry. i am not.

this is not the future i was promised.

v.

your voice is broken and distant on the other end of the line.
you tell me that the connection isn't right, and i agree. our
connection is not right at all.

i am not sure if we are referring
to this particular phone call or this particular relationship.

i am about to ask you why you sound so far away, but
then i realize that it is because you are.

This is wonderful. The pacing is just right, and I love your imagery and the use of negatives here. It shows so much without being loud.

xD

I like it.
