Send a postcard to yourself.
Write: Julia’s gone.
Put a second class stamp on the corner
the bad news will arrive more slowly.
Go to the park and quietly post it on the way
forget what you’ve written, what you know.
Sit on the cool grass,
look up at the empty sky ― breathe.
When it’s time to go home
don’t wait for the postman.
A taster of Between The Floorboards, Degna Stone's chapbook.
