Leo, I found your postcard again
The ink has died in places..
The stamp a pale rectangle
From glorious yesterdays
I still open my letter box
Every after noon.
Its slit gapes and heaves
Like a ravenous beggar-tongue
Leo, the times , they have changed
You wouldn't know though would you
Your grave is still
Guarded by rhododendrons
You wouldn't know..
How each day dangerously
Clones the next.
We don't do
red-letter days any more
Leo..
What the heck, we don't
Do letters anymore.
