LETTER

My dear friend, how have you been?
It’s hard to write, I haven’t seen
You since forever, but I thought 
I’d let you know: I think a lot
About you thinking that I think 
That we’re remembering in sync 
Each other’s names, and what we had 
A life ago: the good, the bad,
The friendship of those ancient times,
The joys, the tears, the feats, the crimes,
The dinners that my Mom prepared,
The novels that your sister shared…
You know the spiel, I won’t go on,
And I don’t think it would be wrong 
To round this up, and to confirm:
I’ll see you soon—in cosmic terms.

Love those last three words... I like the 'ordinary' becomes extraordinary, Iryna. ~ Gershon
