26 LettersA Poem by Maddi Snowden
I've been trying to think of
what to say to you. How exactly I can string together these 26 letters in a way that captures your essence. But 26 letters can only go so far. Maybe if I string together a hundred sunrises and sunsets, filled with the broken bleeding hearts of teenagers and the deep dark bruises on their minds, if I could sew stardust into the empty spaces of these sentences, if I could pour what remains of the universe into an ocean, then maybe the world will understand why 26 letters just aren't enough. (M.S.)
