I love writing letters to you,

you the universe,

you the heap,

you stranger,

you -my other.


I love leaving some piece of myself to float the sea of days and years,

to be held by hands which I long to hold,

watched by eyes which have forgotten mine.

to sit at the back of some dusty drawer,

or to lay crumpled in a garbage heap.

echoing like a record skipping:

I love writing letters to you…


so when there’s no warmth remaining between us two,

some fragment remains to say,

do you remember me?

I remember remembering you.
