A Conversation

Sonnet 9 
A Conversation 
Sophy Chen

You said you’d take me Poetry Anthology 
But, you sent it to me in an envelope  
When you told me it is now on the way 
Suddenly, I feel a strong sense of loss

You said after it was published that’s 
The time we’d see each other face to face 
Well, to read and remember poems are nice 
When can we read each other face to face? 

I waited and waited all days and nights 
But, four days after I didn’t receive it 
It appears in dream faintly as four years 
The more it torments me the more I’d get 

I wonder if I can’t get it tomorrow 
How can I wait the day after tomorrow
