Phoning my parents in the silver Golf ...



Driving past The World's End, I rang my mum - 

Hello hello she said - 

Tell her we'll be there by ten thirty Anne said - 

She changed gear, glancing into the rear view mirror - 

My dad picked up the phone in the lounge - hello hello he said - 

I heard their two voices, my mum's and my dad's, both speaking at once, both precious, both moving away from me, into shadows and memory -
