Day 15

 Day 15

He lost count of days and found

he forgot to post the letters to her,

or perhaps it was that he couldn't bear 

to part with them, the letters

the thick, cream paper, scribbled on

in light pressed ink - no biro here

or even the postage stamps

the rarest he could afford-

each, though apparently,

the effort was no longer needed-

blessed with a proxy kiss goodbye

He did not want to give

He lost count of the letters and found

he forgot to post his days to her
