HIS LOVE LETTERS.

A WOMAN FINDS HER LOVER'S LOVE LETTERS AFTER HIS DEATH.

Those his letters.
She found them
in a package in

a drawer. Love
letters, tied with
string, dried flowers

in pages held. She
read them one by
one, not hers to him

or his to her, but
some other, his
secret lover before

his sudden death.
She read them slow,
the words, the small

slanting hand, kisses
at the bottom spread,
and his love to her

and then his name.
The flowers have lost
their scent, the fragile

petals barely stay, she
read them all, then
breathing hard she tore

them up and cast away.
