She
scratches
shapes
into
rough
grains
of
paper
,
long
slender
fingers
delicately lacing
the
surface
with
ink
.
She
brushes
hair
away
from
her
eyes
,
and
stares
softly
down
at
the
black
formations
before
her
.
He
smiles
,
pulling
the
words
from
the
mailbox
and
reading
them
on
the
street
corner
.
He
walks
into
the
deafening
silence
of
his
apartment
,
holding
the
envelope
next
to
his
shirt
,
the
inky
letters
filling
his
ears
with
sweet
melodies
.
