slings and arrows

the second

i send the letter out, i have

regrets.

damn.

it's not that i regret sending it,

it's that

after further

thought, i left so much

out that i could

have said,

to eviscerate

the intended target.

it's hard to do a part two letter,

once the first

part is in the mail. 

it's all about the rewriting,

and letting it

sit and marinate

in the drawer

before the stamp goes on,

and off it goes.

i need to remember that

the next

time i sit down with

my bloody pen,

my slings and arrows.
