Postcards

...A universe that includes you
can't be all bad, but
does it? At this distance
you're a mirage, a glossy image
fixed in the posture
of the last time I saw you.
Turn you over, there's the place
for the address. Wish you were
here. Love comes
in waves like the ocean, a sickness which goes on
and on, a hollow cave
in the head, filling & pounding, a kicked ear.

Margaret Atwood
