you receive a letter Poem by Monica Aasprong

you receive a letter



you receive a letter

which is so flat

that it's nearly

empty


so white

and flat

that it cuts

itself into you

unread


into your eye

tightens your throat

turns your stomach inside out


stop,

says the child



I don't want

this letter


yes, I say

it's already written


it's already on its way

into your eye
