Dear Jane

I hold your letter in my hand as the sun like a crimson dragon claws  through the thinning clouds––spreading its sunset colors against a sky bruised with the remnants of an earlier fog. It casts a halo around your head–a spell broken by what you have just repeated to me in person––those words that have hollowed out my heart, now empty of all those past promises gone without a trace.

You are bound for the glory of that new career, far off in a golden land. No mention of my coming along. So I will remain, formerly yours, broken-hearted, in this place where the sun has now set for you, ready to rise again, as you will, on the other side of the world.

        Ha! I did that in 8th grade – forced myself not to rhyme, after handing in a huge essay on Evgeny Onegin in verse and getting an A+ with a comment, “Your college professors will not stand for it. Learn to write prose.”
