The District Sleeps Alone Tonight

Bookmarks Turned Wall Art

She sent me a postcard.
It smelled of wild
flowers she must have pressed
in her copy of
You Shall Know Our Velocity!

I put it on my wall.
And of course I look at it every
morning while I
dress. Every day
I check for another.

This system travels
so slow and yet so
worth the wait. When you
get a piece of mail from a past
valentine, you will know.
