We’ll write letters we said

and we did diligent

stamping and creasing, signing but

found we wrote antediluvian

sentences―the announcements

of a letter are stagnant

what we wrote we spoke

as we read what we heard and still

the stamping and creasing, the signing

                                                               Yours

We write letters you say

because we need to

be more than a click-button―a stamp

you say

is immeasurably more

like a person; an envelope is more evidential; handwriting the most

of my sister―stamp and  sign

and creasing
