Tucked In Forgotten Places

Tucked in all the forgotten places

are letters as yellow as dandelions.

He said - she said - clings to stationery

with faded penmanship that was

once bold in its ink and words.

He was at war – She was alone….

Paper escaped battle zones,

but trust fought a bigger war.

Envelopes tied with red ribbon

are skeletons waiting for questions

to shake answers from their dry bones.
