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
