The Postman



I see the postman,
Climbing the
Neighbour's stairs,
Bringing hope of love
From foreign lands,
Because,
After
He has visited
Her door,
I know that
Mine is next.

And I ache,
For a letter.
Written proof,
That someone
Out there,
Thinks of me,
And doesn't
Know
The truth.

hey Esti

powerful images of someone alone in a big city the metaphoric use of the postman as a symbol of hope is so like kevin Costners film of the same name

well done
