"Personal Letters."
Personal letters should be as spontaneous and informal
as the relation between writer and beloved permits.
He calls at 3:00 AM on the 4th, now 5th of July.

Can I come over?
He arrives in pale blue ostrich skin boots
with matching belt buckle, the cross on the nightstand.
Permission is granted, the night spent informally.
I write him this letter.
