Haven’t heard much from you
since your Floridian breakdown.
I’m hoping you’re OK
and you pick up
after that last set of put downs
and come on up here again.

I hope those words
were not the last
I’ll ever hear from you
and that the South
doesn’t swallow you whole
– or even half.

I hope you come back
and I hope what went wrong
makes you righter than ever
eventually.
