Alias

Working up a new story.  This is the way I do it.


Alias

Sifting through the ashes of
Someone else’s life
She finds
A Letter
An imaginary lover
Is out there somewhere
Awaiting a reply
Not knowing there is none forthcoming
In a moment she decides to be
Her
To live a life belonging to someone else
Someone who may have died alone
Who may have hesitated a bit too long
Someone who was loved
She breaks the seal and hesitates
But only for a moment
Because she can’t bring herself to believe that it’s wrong
