➸ ephermal letters

Because sending a
letter is the next best
thing to showing up
personally at someone’s door.
Ink from your pen
touches the stationary,
your fingers touch the paper,
your saliva seals the envelope,
your scent graces the paper.
Something tangible from
your world travels through
machines and hands,
and deposits itself in
another’s mailbox; their world.
Your letter is then carried
inside as an invited guest.
The paper that was sitting
on your desk, now sits on another’s.
The recipient handles
the paper that you handled.
And here I am waiting for
that one letter which could
create a connection
that modern and impersonal
forms of communication
will never replace.
