Postmarked by sean A. Ferrell

It was different on Tuesday
I’m not sure why
Little flowers troubled by chunky frost
Honkers drifting across thin grey
And when I slipped out
I remembered the way you slowly exhaled
When I held you tighter
Hot, loud breath brushing the small hairs behind my ear
My desk cluttered with your mail
Spent pictures from holidays and a magician’s worship
Yesterday was Monday
I had put them neatly in a box
Stamps, letters, different addresses
Some smeared
I can’t remember the one in Kansas
It was a year they had an early harvest
Heavy frost before Labor Day
You tell me someday
Somehow it was different on Tuesday
