Famous Reporter # 10
November 1994
 

       LYN REEVES

       Yellow Paper
               
                 (a letter from Julie)
 
 
     Pages of yellow folded inside a plain
     white envelope. Its calligraphy sparkles.
     These pieces of sunshine pushed
     under the door brighten the room
     with more warmth than burning coals
     and more light than the morning
     in new willow leaves. Words
     on yellow paper say the universe
     is generous: spilling patterns of sound
     and pictures, pressing on doorbells
     of secret houses, waking windchimes
     hung like frail nests in the branches
     of memory, and billowing
     the brown sails of a moored boat
     that frets for ocean currents.
     Words on yellow paper share the call
     to journey into word-worlds, distant
     and impossibly near, to gather up
     the runes, throw them down like dice
     and follow their signing.
