Package
Stick stone opposing image into hot wax
fold edges,
insert veracity, ownership
over sides.
Something like the first draft of a poem gets caught within.
A perfect signature on the lips of an envelope
indicates that none but the intended recipient
has surmounted the arguable premises and unfinished conclusions…
The seal is never exact,
never exactly the same,
and yet we know who is implicated,
for an expression arises
immediately upon receipt
of said tortured letter.
