The Planet Earth

Dear Mailarta

You asked for a poem and I want

to mail it naked,transparent, a

letter as clear as glass that will

bring you the fingerprints of everyone

who touches it — the way you touch

us with your beautiful fingers that

reach through the slot, both sides

of the door. That would be the poet,

the postal clerk, the postman or

lady — who cares which is which;

we are rain becoming rain again,

ink running, lipstick fading on the

flap. sealed with kisses, every stamp

a kiss. Sure, we got it. You want us

to send our love, and we do, every time.

Love, Linda, Victoria poet laureate
