A Quiet Sunday
Since you don't feel the need
to write to me, I endlessly
type nonsensical words onto floating
electric clouds.
Since you won't phone me,
not even on a Sunday,
when in England, there is nothing much to do
but read a book, I am a little dispirited,
even though we are long divorced.
I wonder just what book you are reading.
Once you read my poetry,
once we made love for 8 hours
never leaving the tussled bed for long,
that was on a Sunday.
Today is another Sunday.
No mail on Sunday,
yet I look out my front window
look at my mailbox - mind-talk to it,
imagine your mind listening,
as you read a romance novel
a sad one,
one that does not end well.
