Still Can’t Get It Right

Friday night
a forgotten stamp on an envelope.
Following Monday
a missed address on a postcard

Current state of mind
unable to navigate
simple demands
of the United States Postal Service.

Where do unaddressed postcards go?

Some landfill, probably,
adding my wasted words
onto the heap of garbage
only rats and seagulls love.

My written words
promptly smudged

When I said
‘I missed you’
Please

Feel it deep in your bones
as truth.
I did.
I do.
