Your Letter Came
August 24, 2006
Your Letter Came
as clouds rolled in
message left
with blinking light
don’t push me over
though you know you are able
i fall too quick and
likely bruise my knees
despite your
circumspect intentions
selective memories
are clearer yet
of distant trips
When the letter dropped
in basket like an easter egg
the envelope crisp
the stamps foreign
the writing i knew
instantly it’s you
Despite my zen demeanor
i confess to waiting
everyday for a note
for my own jealous reasons
Reading your note
the bitterness fades
Finally i can say,
that i just pleased
to have played a part
in your intrepid life
