shouldn't wait so long
she thought
to write
my nightly poem
mind now numb
and weary
rejects any
journey deep
can't seem to find
a single line
from which
meaning can be made
so she offers this
as a token
of the committment
willing motivation to be saved
a steak knife, a garbage pail, and a delayed letter
by dot
he walked into the tool shed
with his steak knife in hand
kicking over the garbage pail as he slammed
the door in his hurry to open the letter
in secret, the letter from a lover long dead
a letter - he hoped - had been expected
but never received
