Notes About The Poem
An Ink Empress Contest: Letters Or
Photographs 19Sept 24
Unfinished Letters
My taut pen scratched paper on
paper--- speaking to you among
tangles of weeds, a wailing through
love-filled notes kneading pain and longing;
Envelopes devoid of a zip code, of
stamps, rimmed by spider webs.
Tell me now , can I bear the weight
pinned by unfinished drafts
inhabiting our room?
Your wool jacket dangles tonight
on a hook accumulating debris
and stale mint,
while spring floods our garden
with radiant foliage--
Papyrus of my ardorous thoughts
lay on deserted tables,
and I'm orphaned...alone by myself.
