Letters of Transit

 

Thanks to an idea from Omni and friends,

“Humphrey Bogart Blues,” Hello Poetry

 

There are always distracting macguffins in life:

A missing cufflink, Chekhov’s rifle, Tintern Abbey

An anonymous message torn in half

Letters of transit signed by General Weygand

 

But better are the letters of transit she writes:

Coded soul-maps in her sighs

Secret signals in her eyes

Her dreams revealed as this surprise -


The only true letter of transit is

Her love
