The Fourth Call

I am sure I hear the voices I am sure that it’s the sound I hear I am sure it’s physical and that it strikes my eardrum But I don’t know where it’s coming from.

I am sure I hear the voices

I am sure that it’s the sound I hear

I am sure it’s physical and that it strikes my eardrum

But I don’t know where it’s coming from.



It calls me thrice

I have heard the advice

I say no reply; I have no choice

I ask no questions to the voice.

Phone call woes


That makes no fourth call.

I controvert my sense, I say,

“No one calls me in the middle of the night;

Calls me by name, but is not in my sight!”


But I hear them

The voices in my head.

The calling of the dead

People call me; I act deaf. 


I wait… until the fourth call is made.
