I remember when i read this the first time a year ago! I love the mystery and the length- like there is just enough to substitute your own history of the letter and the person (man?) who isnt writing. It makes me think of angela from Chronicle of a Death fortold! I think a couple times removing the adjective of simplifying the sentence construction would just add to the flow and natural feel of the piece. Like: Snail mail is mostly junk, yet he must still travel through the worst weather to deliver it. The yet he must sounds a little over complex. And for some reason i think the sentnece about sorrowfully stepping would sound better w/o the sorrowfully. But those are really small things and i really love it. One of my fav lines is: One word whipped down the dark alleyways of my mind like a whirlwind: descalza. And I LOVE the last line!

This is an interesting little piece... I'm curious what the letter was though? I think there should have been some more explanation on that note. But other then that, it's very interesting. (In a good way.) Sorry, I pretty much stink at reviews! haha I do like this though. :)

I love how you substituted reality for rain in the last thought of the last sentence. Nice job!

Besides generally just being a pleasure to read, I like the humour in your writing. I think a lot of people take what they write too seriously, and the little kicks of humour at the end of some of your poems are really refreshing.

i really liked this is was short, but well done. i liked the last little line that she would catch a cold:)
