MRS. M

Mrs Miller, could you tell me
when Fiona will be back in town?
I really miss her
and I kinda wish she’d come back.
Have you heard from her
or know how she’s doing
or whom?

I’m sorry.
I shouldn’t be pressing you
for this sort of information.
I know you oughtn’t tell some boy
about your daughter.
I get it
but
I kind of need to know
about Fiona
and she won’t say a word.

Please help me.
Tell me something
or tell her to call me
or love me
or –

Mrs. Miller,
forget unsaid anything.
Could we start over?
How are you doing?
What’s up with your family?
