Love Letters I Wrote to My Imagination

Love letters from a jail cell

are always signed, 'I wish you well'

where' they're from I'll never tell

I throw them all into the well

In the darkness and the wet

the ink runs and dissipates

it makes a murky fog

that even the bull frogs hate

I hear them chirping and burping 

late at night

in the haze over the lake

meanwhile he's in his tiny cell

thinking over his mistakes

and here I am running free

but I am not a woman

I am just his

imagination.
