Word must fly
From the fringed airmail envelope, vignettes:
getting lost in the jungle on a horse
(the smog an alibi from the outset
to quit the city and the language course);
at one hotel, in Leon, they asked me,
“Will you be receiving clients?” Really...
Buying a poncho in chilly mountains
(Guatemala); timeless times in beach towns -
it’s about July fourteenth... who’s counting?
She asks if things are as bad as they sounded
(as I meant them to) in my last letter.
She sends love and hopes that things are better.
The best laid plans... But time will turn the tide,
she assures; comforts with more adventures:
We took a van into the countryside,
bought special twenty-five pence sun-filters...
Suddenly cold and dark, we two gossips,
as we tell each other of an eclipse.
