In So Few Words Gone

In So Few Words Gone

 

I seriously hope

the arrival

of the text I am

about to send

does not disturb

you from

your slumbers ..

But rather,

when you do

come to find it,

in the morning

that is ..

You shall feel

obliged

and otherwise

compelled

to stand before

your great

grandmothers

tall cheval mirror

and read

each word aloud ..

Louder

than a whisper

or indeed

a prayer even ..

Since by then,

I most sincerely

hope, I shall

be well and truly gone
