Visits
The moss has not reached your letters yet. I am in time.
Your third day was your best line.
You wrote like someone closing a door gently.
I read your last words twice and laughed the second time.
Nothing to add. I wanted you to have a visitor.
I saw the moss and came straight here.
The last person here wrote beautifully. I will just stand here.
You were here eleven days. That is eleven lines more than nothing.
You wrote little, so I am writing little.
You wrote like someone closing a door gently.
Your stone is colder than the others. I stayed a while.
You wrote the word enough four times. I counted.
I also read the visitor before me. You both stay.
I do not know your language, and I read to the end anyway.
