Stuck in the Dead Letter Office

Patricia Williams

I sent a letter from somewhere,
telling you about nothing –
a letter without a stamp
or return address
floating around in an underworld,
aware of both past and future,
free from the margins of time.

Undeliverable and unreturnable,
it can’t find you,
your address, illegible –
a dead letter, a bygone venture,
an expired opportunity –
a connection
forever cancelled.
