There's a note she keeps re-reading from a graveyard far away The writer begs to offer sympathy The man she once married and left so long ago Is gone beyond remorse and anything that might have been Automatically she washes up, tidies and dusts Starts to drink her coffee and leaves it to congeal She tries to write an answer but somehow it falls apart The words are vague and stilted - how can she tell how she feels A threat of soleares spins softly from stereo Ghostly in the sunlight, reflecting ancient pain Sombre rasgueado, a hint of distant thunder Like the muted threat of Spanish rain The phone rings: she shares the news but nothing of her feelings Someone says "So sorry - I'll ring back if you like" Ringing off as if in dread of inapt and nervous laughter Hanging brittle in the silence though it never left her throat Shadows lengthen into evening: she has a drink or two As if to fill the emptiness she feels She can't trace her emotions but her thoughts are wheeling Around a situation scarcely real Somehow all our failures rise to haunt us from the graveyard At times like this it seems that guilt and death Potentiate each other like phenobarb and whisky It passes with time but she can't believe it yet Her nights won't all be sleepless like the one that lies ahead In a world of other people with their own claims on her time Other joys and sorrows: other games to win and lose But a whisper from the grave still tells her "Tonight is mine"
