The Alphabet


I am a ruin of loose ends
Knots tied, abandoned in the dusk
26 letters in the alphabet
I write letters but all the lines are dead

Don't be less
We could be something bigger

I own a mountain of disappearances
Sentenced to a sentence that's senseless
How much attention does no attention warrant?
I write letters but no one writes back

Don't be less
We could be something bigger
Than anything I could spell
I always wanted the things you couldn't tell

I am a hard lover
Maybe I have never
Loved anyone but apparitions

Don't be less


(Juliane)
