Call from my sister
Call from my sister
before she died in July
She said,
“I have changed my will.
Will you honor my wishes?”
” Yes,” I answered.
You are my sister
and I love you.”
There was a long pause,
with nothing else said,
so she hung up.

This piece is so real and the language you used paints the picture extremely well, thank you for sharing it with us
So much breathes between these lines,
The stark structure communicates so well.
Favorite line: “so she hung up.” It’s so abrupt and useful in the structure and meaning of this poem.
Thanks all, your keen wit is its own reward here.
