Letters neatly printed
by hand
Every corner, curve and curl,
tasting precision.
Words carefully chosen,
mindless but deliberate,
meaningful but ambiguous.
Pages, thin and fragile,
rough and smooth,
textures of age.
Scents of dignity and war,
life and death.
Chapters of endless honour, courage and hardships.
A book preserved by love
and memories.
