most noted notes

Letters penned in turquoise ink 
are best I think
Skill commanding
notwithstanding

In cordial red envelopes
they inspire hopes
Like Valentines
and lucky signs

And if we've written them sincere
or cavalier
Feel no remorse
for such discourse

last testament

My dearest sister, don't give in
Whichever way the cruel wind blows
I bear your heart as mine, within
My dearest sister, don't give in
Though consolation echoes thin
Whence thou goest, thy sister goes
My dearest sister, don't give in
Whichever way the cruel wind blows

"I could see it, the jewel, it was sapphire, it was the cold lakes of Norway."

grievance
like a sapphire
compressed, polished
hoarded like a wyrm's cache
