The Letter

 

I wrote six of them.

One . . .

after the other . . .

after the other.

 

I wrote you that letter

while sitting in my favorite chair

at my favorite table

all cocooned in my favorite mood.

 

What a difficult letter . . .

How was I able to put into so few pages

my feelings for you . . .

my love for you

in that letter

 

which I wrote . . .

six letters

one

after the other

before

that letter.
