the church is the same.
the priest is not.

drawer · bundled with a faded ribbon

postcards

perhaps thirty. addressed to you over a number of years, by people who travelled then, in handwriting that mostly belongs to no one alive. the ribbon is the colour of a much darker ribbon, once.

none of the cards say anything secret. they say arrived. they say the weather. they say wish you were. you keep them anyway.

field-note: bundled in summer, the year the ribbon stopped being red.
