Epistolary
Why do you try --
letter you --
to cajole me with the sentence
when nothing more than fragments
keeps me at bay?
This is divine,
this crossing, unmet yet intertwined,
and I see it nightly
when my curtain swings
like a vampire in the breeze.
How do you get in?
I always hate the little spaces
underneath lost tribes,
lost letters, lost feelings,
lost embankments of
solitary trust --
but how do you get in,
when no one welcomes you,
and still manage
to resonate hope?
