Well, if I complete this poem, I’m half way there – I can do this – I can get this out and successfully.<\/p>\n
There is no real and actual prompt here – but at the same time – I’ve been doing these cute collages between poems and this is kinda inspired by the most recent collage I made.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Poem 12:<\/p>\n
My love, it has been far too long since<\/p>\n
I’ve sat down and opened these veins for you –<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
taken all the things going on in my life and<\/p>\n
condensed it into a letter that only you would<\/p>\n
ever take the time to read, to understand, or<\/p>\n
consider responding to. A piece of paper<\/p>\n
folded three times to ensure that all the words<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
get to you – exactly as they were intended to.<\/p>\n
And there is a certain level of artistry that<\/p>\n
goes into each and every letter mailed out to you –<\/p>\n
usually on Fridays so that it will arrive on<\/p>\n
Monday when you need it most – because I<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
have gotten this down to an exact science.<\/p>\n
Just for you, for the person I am able to be<\/p>\n
between lines of spilled ink and well-considered<\/p>\n
intentions – conversations – and authentic questions.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
My love, it has been far too long since<\/p>\n
I have taken the opportunity to write to you –<\/p>\n
and today is the day that shall be remedied.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Once and for all.<\/p>\n
