Stamped letters

Posted byPhillip Knight ScottPosted inPoemsTags:, , , ,

She broke the seal on the envelope
eager to read the letter locked inside
a catalog of a specific moment
I gleefully shared with her. 

We tie those moments downs as fast as
the ink dries, shadows of our past
written in the excitement of today
insisting on being tomorrow’s memories.

With a satchel of reread mail we embark
on another epoch with missives untied
before us, sharing a pen to forge another note
soon stamped with forever postage.

  1. Loved the lines “written in the excitement of today/
    insisting on being tomorrow’s memories.” – very insightful. Great work!
