the sentiment is the same

i still have your Christmas card,
the one i signed
yours truly,
no longer using the words
love, or
affectionately yours.
it's lying next to the one
you sent to me, but
it's in the top
drawer
where i keep my stapler
and rubber bands.
a book of stamps,
coupons to the Container Store.
did i forget to send it?
no.
it just never made it from
the desk to the blue
box on the corner.
i wonder if the stamp is
still good, maybe next year
you'll get it
the second time around.
the sentiment will remain
the same, i'm sure.
