Sheer excitement
Let me name it laudable (or laughable)
Excited by a telephone number
With a recognisable area code
What right have I
Still to make connections
Are you there?
Is anybody there
The black and white keys
Stroked with such certainty
Sure of a lighter mood, yet
Mindful of a minor refrain
As the hall doorway opens
All cobwebs are dusted
By the flight of her body
In search of the handset
