I thought
About writing you a letter
That can listen to you
Instead of talking.
A letter that can look at your face,
Your lips,
And your Earrings,
And inform me
About your feelings status.
I thought about writing you
Something
Else;
Unnatural,
More organic,
Cosmic, and
Delightful.
Something, I always forget to say
Or to do.
I want to write
Something
Different,
Not academic.
Without etiquette,
Signs, symbols, or languages.
Something that bypasses
My tongue, my hands, my face, my skin, and my existence.
I want to write
You a letter that summarizes your face
In few words,
With a language that the whole world can read
So everyone knows your face
And comforts your restless eyebrows.
