"Lone Telephone" (Entry 357)

Telephone. 
Alone. 
Nicotine yellowed rotary on 
Slab of fake mahogany 
In hotel room. 

Cacophony of tinny bells ring loud. 
Vibrates against paper-thin viral-stained walls
Within the sparse space. 
An old-fashioned sound in an undefined place. 
Its call persists. 

Brrring!-Brring! 
Brrring!-Brring!
Plastic thing sings
Metallic.
Brring!-Brring! 
Pity there's no one there to answer it. 
It rings no more.
