The Letter

Words Alphabets Soup I said I love you You sighed Not now My laundry is calling I had call waiting Forever My plan expired My love retired I sent you a letter In a painting A Monet in time Collage of flowers Spring time in Paris I poured the tears I drank the wine I yearned For what else could one do? No postal codes or postage due My longing never ends My heart is at its end So I buy this postal card From far away I will never return But will you stay?

I like the melancholy feel of this piece. It feels steeped in wanting.
