Sharon Kourous
LETTER FROM THE ANTIPODES
Dear Amerigo,
yr lttr frm
the Antipodes
arrived ystrdy
still sealed in wax
which i carefully
w heated blade
cut thru
& unfolded w all
due care like a
driver steering w 1 hand
& trying to find
at 70 mph
the rt exit
& hitting the brakes
too late
& sitting on the berm
still shaking:
i found yr map.
No fault of yrs:
the continents
are already
creased & folded;
yr name
visible everywhere.
