carrier pigeon
heartfelt thoughts
so lucid in my mind
seem to lose their edge
when transcribed
onto stationary
describing a loneliness
emanating deep
within my soul
cannot begin to capture
the sadness i feel
while you are away
i roll my emotions
using my fingertips
and tuck them away
into the dove’s vessel
praying she will find you
without delay
november two thousand twelve
