The Phone Call Poem by Michael Salcman

The Phone Call



In the ether streaming
across a continent
an astral girl materializes

crawls through carbon and optical fiber
projects herself
as a hologram of desire

and tumesces
from a shy hello to warm wet sighs
as deliquescent as a dewdrop on buck thorn.
