Poetry

Her letter

Knute Skinner

Tasting her words, he summoned

the last moments he saw her,

the last few hours they spent together,

the last year of their shared venture.

 

All that was nothing,

all that was nothing, 

it was all the same.

 

However far back he took her

and wherever he placed the italics.
