Who am I? All blown open, paper fold
– An Envelope, by Jack Underwood 

::

And may have shifted as we go,
so please be careful looking skyward. 

We hold our breaths at paper moon 
and too-bright sun 
and similar exposure. 

See, 
it’s not the flap 
that gets you, it’s the closure.

Maybe the fog will have lifted
by then and time will not seem to pass 
like small bones being broken in order.
– An Envelope, by Jack Underwood 

Quickly, day 23. Late to the party on a travel day.

    It’s always the closure, isn’t it. Nicely done.
