The Three Agreements
3) This is about waiting
you said
love is a decision
there’s no word
of your whereabouts
2] Recent history
speechless phone
squats
by the bed
minutes swim
the breast stroke
1) Timelessness
click,
on the line my brother
like a fish
who’s found a hook

I really love this poem, Jim.
wow.
to all the swimming minutes
That “speechless phone”, squatting by the bed! The call that never comes. It tears your guts out – like this poem.
And the reverse order lends depth.
