A package of letters, I found in a chest
Written to Grandmother, from Kenny
Made me quite confused, I confess
I thought Grandfather’s name was Lenny!

Whatever shall I make for dinner?
The cupboard is bare, nothing new
It has to be something that’s tasty
I know! I’ll make some alphabet stew
I can’t remember where I put them
Those letters, always on the loose
I need to gather enough of them
To allow me, this stew, to produce
Finally finding the package
I take what I need to proceed
An S, a U, two P’s and an E
Exactly the letters I need
But wait! Something is missing
This really is quite bizarre
I thought I had it altogether
But my supper is missing its R

Pen to the paper
Lines that I scribble
Fall slowly, my mind
Starting to dribble
A trickle of ink
A blotch full of letters
That turn into words
Somehow much better
Than leaving the paper
Barren and white
This is my legacy
At the end of the night

There was a time
when the words
flowed like a waterfall,
an endless cascade
of letters, gathering
together like waves
in the ocean, crashing
down in a sigh, then
slipping away once again.
This is where my life will end,
like the bottom of a riverbed,
dried up, seared by the heat
of the daytime star, scarred
where words no longer
can bleed brittle memories,
merely to fall away,
an invisible page

Bleary eyed, I write
Restless thoughts, scattered letters
Words, to fill the void
