I never received
a card of acknowledgment
no thank you
nothing
when I sent you a book of my poems
but now I think
that was for the best
as it makes me practice
imagining glorious scenes
of you in rapture
sitting in your window seat
reading my poems and left speechless
while marveling at the beauty and sadness
of the world you have been missing
just outside your window
and how I tried
to captured it for you
verse by verse.
So it is now my wish
that when you are finished
with my attempts at documenting
the human experience
you will join me in hoping
that all this leads
to more and better poems
unlike this one.
