Subtle-
The sound is subtle.
I can hear it through the walls, they are so thin.
They won't pick up their damn phone,
It stops.
And then it starts again
And again
Again
They won't pick up the phone.
The sound is not subtle-
It rings through the pillow
It resounds in my skull
They pick up the phone
.
.
.
I roll over and close my eyes
The walls are to thin
They cry and tears leak through drywall.
