These Things Appear


these things appear


(for c)

these things appear
to be
so harmless –

a familiar hand
on a slip of paper

a trail of messages
scattered like crumbs

tethered letters
waiting to be proofed

no one to say
goodnight
to
.

(smile) i enjoyed the photo you put up for this poem because it's much more romantic than the work letters that are waiting to be proofed (smile). thank you.
