A love letter is a body / a flower pressed between pages / considered both wishmaker and a weed / that can both be blown away in the breeze. / a love letter is a body / that writhes underneath / the weight of their words / soft-spoken and trembling / they flutter easily / with each stuttered breath / waiting for a hand to hold. / a love letter is a body / I️ never learned how to grasp / a heart clasped / between broken fingers / the handling is already / disfigured / how will a love survive / until these hands / are purified?
