greetings · the island

dearest —
the island has nine inhabitants, one road,
a chapel that is also a post office.
time arrives by boat and leaves the same way.
i am told the winter is very long.
i am not yet brave enough for it. — m.

a place small enough to count. the chapel-post-office appears in the island's own room; m. did not invent it. the winters are exactly as long as one is told.
