A Letter to Santa

Wednesday, December 23rd, 2009

This letter was written by a very resourceful and worried 6 year old.

It is now hanged on our window, just in case Santa will come early this year.

The Letters by Eileen Carney Hulme

Friday, December 18th, 2009

I wonder if
you keep the letters still,
spidery and blotted
now, like old days
just withered away.

I remember sunlight bursts
that inspired
those winged words,
the spirit of spaces
flying paper aeroplanes of love.

I picture us then-
a perfect summer’s night
calligraphy of stars
burning Indian fire

and I wonder if
you keep the letters still.

I would have answered your letter sooner, but you didn’t send one.

I don’t know why I love mail

Tuesday, December 15th, 2009

Envelope

Maybe it is the sense of history, the smell of foreign places or the feeling that I was given the chance to glimpse into a different and private world, but I always loved mail. Getting it, writing it, sending it, peeping into other people mail (I know, you don’t have to tell me), even just holding it in my hand, feeling the texture of the paper, looking at the stamps and thinking of its long voyage.

Look at this envelope. It was sent by me and unfortunately a few weeks later I also became the last recipient. But what a journey it was between my house and my house.
