1. For Jayson
By Shanon Quinn
Hi lover, here’s a simple note,
If you please,
To reassure you if you feel
Jealous, or
Lonely, or
Unhappy.
I love you and
I’m here for you,
Sweetheart,
Anytime.
I would be ecstatic
To hear your voice at 3 am
Even if I had to be to work
By 6.
I would reread your letter
One more time
Before I opened
My paycheck.
I would close my eyes
To finish writing my sweet fantasy
Of us
And just let
The telephone
Ring.
