I sent you postcards
From Rome
Paris
London
But perhaps
You didn't notice them
Piling up on your doorstep
They're easy to step over
Flat
Thin
Holding words of the weather
Featured attractions
And life changing events
Trying desperately
To send
A small piece of me
From here
To there
Making you a part
Of a process
Producing change
I wish postcards
Could hold more
Or if I could afford more
Perhaps I could send you
Something that would make
The neighbors envious
Of your traveling
Half
It's funny
I couldn't find
Your address
But I remembered it
Line
For line
And lines waited in
Sending in
A matter of moments
All those words
That had been
Turning
Over
I wrote that part
On the one with the picture
Of the sea
