unpacking stories

my dearest,
...i left a story in your mailbox today.
...not our normal correspondence
......impossible doodles
......suggestive poems
...remember that night?
...drunken and sweaty
we stumbled a dirt road
...clothed thrusts
...dugged fingertips
...climacted sighs
......impossibly alight
......alone aflame
...too bright
...too close
...to the horizon
...to be a planet
...to be a star.
two stolen photographs
...in a box
......inside a box
...lurking n my underwear drawer:
impoverished givers and selfless thieves.
...the summer of the
...beautiful white horse,
......very truly yours

the story: William Saroyan. "The Summer of the Beautiful White Horse" My Name is Aram Orlando: Harcourt, Brace and Co., 1940.
