SETHWILSON ISAAC GRAY

Title: hiding behind the blinds, i hear the mail arrive Poem: invisible as grasshoppers fleeing from dead weed to dead weed this is what i think of me, hardly real, barely make-believe doorstep heavy, tattered sheet, quiet as the mailman leaves no sign of life, no centerpiece, hollow as far as i perceive in this apartment, dry and quiet, cracking boards and silent smiling, your letter crinkled, faded, smeared the ink is faint, light through tears what is movement, but the past, when all is wrinkled, torn, and ash how could you send me a letter? a flower? a whole farm in an envelope?
