i wish i could mail you this
sea. you can’t step into
a photo, let it gush and glitter
around your ankles. it’s a blue

so penetrating i almost don’t
blame Maggie Nelson for being
such a freak. i miss you.
i hate to say that and not

mean it, but this time
i do. mediterranean dusk
snuffles above the car home.
everyplace is home. i hope

you get this letter. i hope
you start to feel better. i hope
in a way we are still kids.
                     good night bunny.
