CALLIGRAPHY

 

Dark ink against

White paper

Lines and squiggles

Your name in red

 

A tinge of age

Along the paper’s edge

The cup slips

Cracks appear

 

What was once whole

Is now broken

I read that you had gone away

For good

It happened years ago

 

I cry when I think of you

There was always

Space between us

A far away distance

 

I tap the nib

Against the lip of the ink well

We were not bound

No straps to hold us

Just good friends

The story written in calligraphy
