Her greeting card dropped through the box
to  lay on  the obvious gas and electric bills;
I tried to catch them mid fall and failed.
I remember my indecision on which one to open first.
The bills were laid to rest on the taffeta table cloth,
and the letter opener which had a silver strawberry atop
the handle, went to work.
I smelled crimson off the red lettering;
saw her love of calligraphy in the hand.
Will be home soon with Sean and the baby.

It was signed Dorothy and carried a Nepalese stamp.

I think of this one often, it really stuck with me.

Coming back to find this I read the whole page, again, what a bunch of gems. Thanks for all the great reading, guys.

    Your post got me to reading them all again as well.
    Damn bunch of wonderful these (we bathe in the presence of ourselves).

    But billy's, like you said, is the one I remember.
