close letter
she taught me how to wait
for things worth waiting for
to fold a letter with both hands,
to press
a flower
into the page
in small rooms
and long mornings,
she was still
I celebrate the unhurried hour,
the ink-stained finger, the seal
pressed like a small prayer.
what she gave cannot be posted back
