postmark

i sent
a
letter
to
poe,
postmarked
today
in
a
small urn.

i
buried it
in
a
shallow grave.

just a note of thanks.

i
am
mostly uncertain
about
the
subtle nuances
of
bending

time and space.

hope
he
gets it.

on the front i scribbled,

e.a. poe
throes
of
depression
eighteen thirty six
baltimore.

i keep reading his works

in
hopes
he
mentions me.

i
imagine
he reads it
in
an
opium den
and
smiles
before
passing out.
