caller id

Allen M Weber

only your dovish husband
knows how miserly you can be
with the hours past the evening news

you know this call is coming
from the younger woman staying just
down the road her parents remember you

each holiday’s eve you give
and receive casseroles you love to smell
her doe-eyed children’s just-washed hair

soon after her husband shipped
to a classified location their baby arrived
with those wide and knowing eyes you browse

tonight’s images with the volume down
a veiled Afghan bride and broken children
strewn along the rubble you pick up the phone
