A Wedding Gift

By God Is In The Rain


An intruder in mail - hostile declaration
a war hatchet of one wedding invitation.
With address unknown, with a nostalgic scent,
brings, uninvited, p's q's and - torment.
Reads;
"Hello, old pal. How long has it been?
With so much news - I know not where to begin.
I hope you are well, and without pet peeve,
(forgave) Promises broken, the decade old leave.
I have stocked on milk since; got cigs in the end.
And I'm marrying soon - A one once your friend.
Come - or send gift. If you'll be so kind.
Kisses and hugs; your childhood love signed."


Blame me not - what else could I have sent?
Other, than some twelve wine bottles - Red.

    Dammit friend! Damn damn double damn dammit. This gets me heated, irritated, indignant, regretful, sorrowed, and guilty for all of the above in so few line. Brilliant! And kudos taking the higher road.
