Road Trip Poem

Rewind

It's not that I'd forgotten
Our three hour conversation
Your voice in my head
From New Mexico
Across the north Texas panhandle
Keeping me company
Making me laugh
Dark of the moon
Stars so very bright
Driving on through the night
Redialing
When the cell signal black holes
Interrupted
What I didn't remember
Was the message that you left
The first time we were cut off
On the second of November
I ran across it
While clearing out my crowded voicemail
Just yesterday
You said your name
And I rejoiced
To unexpectedly hear your voice
Echo in my head
Once again
