Deadly Birthday Wishes

If it rings it will be them,
To tell us that he’s dead.
But I already know.

From the moment they spouted ‘coma’,
To the way my mother moped around.
She knew too.
We all ‘knew’.

Three days ticked away. Not a
smile
in sight. Maybe he’d be ok.
Maybe he’d be all right.

Just maybe…
Ring ring.
