short and very sweet..'melancholy came' a knocking at my door... nice write.. :)
(trying to remember the last time something came postage due)
I like the tone of this.
oh i like the "wish-you-were-here" postcard..
Creative references shine light on the blues behind this piece. Well done.
"Don't let the sun go down on me" - or "us" as the missive might imply. Tight, terse, total. That's a short "blues" piece! Excellent.
ha. i sent a few from NYC when we were there...the tone fits the subject
