uncharted course

sometimes romance

is a letter



it arrives without me

but maps out space in

your intimate geography



it sails through your thoughts

like the breeze sailors shoot

on calm days about a wild night



and like this, they are just words

as valuable as the sand

shaken from your bathing suit



but even that is a treasure

of its own intrinsic merit



with that image

knowing you are not here

i can only pretend to be there

clinging to your personal spinnaker

as i lick your envelope closed
