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
