Dear Elena,
I'm breathless.
I'm exhilarated.
I gave my week's notice
At the station.
I'm throwing in the towel, hanging up the phone
q u i t t i n g.
Like my brother
Like my mother.
Josef is getting out
In a week
And Lilah is excited.
In a few years she will despise him
But now she cannot wait to hug him.
He can't wait either
To corrupt her mind
To destroy her world,
Just by saying I love you.
Love, Ida
