Postcard from the Ledge

………………………………………………Wednesday, May 3, 1482
………………………………………………Paris, France

Es,

Another hump day, another
ringing bell I cannot hear.
These towers have grown cold
without your touch. Wish you
were here, and miss you much.

But,
I’ve a hunch
I’ll see you soon –
Q

 


Prompted by Quickly in September, day 28.

    Oh my gosh, my skin is on fire with prickles. From Quasimodo to Esmerelda. I don’t know what the prompt was, but this is powerful, haunting, and deep to me. Especially because you published it first without a title, so it came through with a very large number as the title. That of course said to me that this was one of many, many such letters he wrote her. And being a gypsy, he would have had nowhere to send it.

  2. I thought this was a real postcard you had found at first! Don’t you love reading old letters and postcards? I absolutely adore doing so.
    Did they really call it hump day in 1482? 🙂
