Letter I never sent

Writing Communities

Letter I never sent - … Know all too well the unsettling sentiment that sinks your hope of keeping anything. It arrives suddenly. When you are unable picture her face as she’s walking away. From you.

… Trust in your car for great escapes. You may drive miles and days toward unfamiliar roads, convincing yourself to be lost. You are lost. You wonder as strangers ride behind glass windshields:

Are there really so many other cars--other people--who know exactly where they are going?

… Don’t like the act of carrying an umbrella. Maybe you need to feel rain-to-skin, even if you show up to work looking like a drowned rat. You much prefer feelings to looks.

… Have asked someone you admire, “Are we really designed to lose?”
Answer: Sad stare and Silence.

… Write letters you will never send…
