Letter from Papa

Posted in English, Of Family & Friends, PoetryLeave a comment
I dreamt of Papa
shuffling letters in his hands
walking to the letterbox
stopping and reading the addresses
checking the seal, uncurling edges
once again before posting,
as if parting from friends.
Checking the lock,
and the time plate on red box,
he turned one last time  –
looked at me and said,
‘one of these will reach you, soon’.
The letter comes as letters
One character
One word in
One dream
each night.
