The Mail
A Letter
Published in

I read the letter with excitement when it came in the mail today. It was a long month since I last heard anything. It was slow and sad, talking about the grain, the rain. Like a notice — all dry and formal. No sweet words of delight.
And there it was the divide between us. A line in a letter, cowardly.
The last line. The adieu, bowing out. Just a line in a letter.
