The TelephoneWhen I was just as far as I could walkFrom here todayThere was an hourAll stillWhen leaning with my head against a flowerI heard you talk.Don’t say I didn’t for I heard you sayYou spoke from that flower on the window sill-Do you remember what it was you said ”First tell me what it was you thought you heard.”Having found the flower and driven a bee awayI leaned my headAnd holding by the stalkI listened and I thought I caught the wordWhat was itDid you call me by my name Or did you saySomeone said “Come”I heard it as I bowed.”I may have thought as much but not aloud.’Well so I came.
