he finishes off the letter
paints the envelope with an abstract landscape
and posts it to a named individual
in a foreign land
near a cold sea.
This is Love he says to himself
This is love in a fold of paper
in a collage of colour
where words that make no sense
and images that only vaguely resemble
Earth, Sea, Sky
is more than sufficient
for the impossible task
of expressing feelings
that are beyond sense.
