I never get a letter from you.

by Ryan Nardi

I never get a letter from you.
I never know just what I'm sposed to do.
I never get a messenger,
a red alert,
or little bird.

No, I never get a letter from you.

I don't know what address to put on mine.
I just talk out loud and close my eyes.
Sometimes I think you're talking back.
Sometimes I think my head is cracked.

I never get a letter from you.

The bushes that I pass are all the same.
Drying in the sun but none in flames.
I looked off of a mountain top,
but all there was was space to drop.

I never catch a sight nor sound of you.

I never get a letter from you.

...i like it too, tho to me 'tis far from sad. sorta like an existential kiss-off. love it. i grinned when i saw the second time...that you didn't get a letter, by then i was grinning. letter? what letter? too cool. & it was/is heavy too.

We've all been there! Nicely written ....simple and well-paced.

I like this a lot - whimsically sad, sadly whimsical, well-written.
