Letter to What Is or Will Be

Dear bright future

tell me I’m standing in the middle of your heart

tearing up those poems I wrote

the last copies
on earth. Recite the number of teaspoons

of vodka in my veins.    Help me breathe in

and out.

Stop him from saying the right things

from being honest
I need a fable

a landslide     my own Jerry Lee Lewis


Let me be 16 and stupid again.

Let anything feel possible.

Jennifer Miller McIntyre
