Dear darling:
How is it going out there
Does the sight of blood
Still bother you
Or are you becoming
Accustomed to it?
I realize that you haven't
Been writing very often.
I just want to say that
I understand.
You're busy out there on the line,
But it has been a few months...
Please just write me one word back...
A couple of months ago,
A man showed up to my doorstep
With "news" and a tiny flag.
However, I refuse to accept
Any reality that is to say that
You are dead.
Sincerely yours,
Mildred
