My dad never hears the phone ...



My dad never hears the phone - 

He'll sit in his armchair, in his diving bell of memory, lifting his glass of Tanglefoot - 

The landlord of The Beresford handed out free beer my dad will say, remembering VE Day -

The phone will ring and ring in the hallway - 

The names of dead brothers are written upon scraps of paper - 

My dad still hears their voices -
