pristine package
sent with warmest regards
from the beloved memory
of an old ghost
you were my far away soldier
i, your pined for bride
a marriage found
within
victoriana and letter writing
our life together
was a norman rockwell painting
lost when the house caught fire
white chocolate pretzels
hiding truffles
vibrant orange sticks
willing caramels
glistening peppermints
bing crosby’s voice is singing in the box
a sugar coated symphony
amidst red tissue paper
i am grateful
thank you for reminding me of us
and why its better this way
but most of all
for the way you happily wore
the twin’s hand painted
macaroni necklaces
