Honorable Mention
a sense of closure
alan addotto

A
friendship
that's all it was
beginning to end.
We
internetted; talked
on the phone --
(actually only twice),
but it was nice.
felt right, uncommitted, light.
mostly gossip, personal trivia.

Slowly,
like night blooming jasmine she unfolded
talking about her life.

Then for about two weeks she was gone,
----answered no E-mails
Phone wasn't on.

She returned changed and upset with
an isinglass excuse about some hospital tests.
and one about her very abusive fiancée
that she'd left.

The last time we had spoken after that
she said she'd taken him back.
Something in her voice sounded really hurt, broken
"I wish he was more like you,"
" a gentleman" she said.


The note that that says
" The person you are trying to contact is not available online "
flashed on.
She was gone,
connected to a dark silence,
she couldn't return from.

The person you are trying to contact is not available--
anymore

anywhere.
