Dear Wigleaf,

Grandma isn't home. Her smell
isn't, either.
She wrote
long letters
I couldn't read.  
I still can't
make out
her cursive.  
It pressed past margins and curved
against pages.
I twisted
I'm so proud into
I'm so prowl
and folded up
my answers.
Grandma—
      The sea
            Grandma—
                      I see
                          Grandma—
                                   You see, your sea has left me
                                                                   orphaned.
