"Hey, it's your mother.." she said into the phone
awkwardly on the other line "I wanted to see you,
have a cup of coffee? Or go out for lunch?" Laughing awkwardly
without humor, "I miss you."
The boy who stared at the phone, play out the voicemail live.
"Your father-Well, I am sorry for dis-
owning you for being who and what you are." The tears slid
down his cheeks, her voice still sound the
same; the woman who yelled at him to wake up in the morning to the
woman who yelled along with the
man he called father who told him: 'he wasn't normal.'
His mother was still on the line, braiding the thread
nervously. "I just..I just wanted, to talk to you. Fix
everything up that was ruined by us."
He drew in a sharp breath, "I love you son-" her voice
was cut off from the limit of minutes on the voicemail.
Staring at his phone and palm to his lips, trying not to cry. His
lover came in with two cups of coffee, "I-What's
wrong?" Sniffling, he managed to have it in him to say it;
"she called." He was engulfed with arms and an
embrace
that felt nice, even if he was in pain. Letting go, he didn't
want to let go. "I'll get more tissues," his lover
said,
then left to retrieve them."
