Today's Letter: M

Our crazy assignment for Typography this week was to research any letter of the alphabet and write something. After much deliberation, I decided M was the best-yes, mainly because of my name. But here's why Melissa should not be given such broad, and odd topics:


M is for Me

day thirteen: under
the cypress she seeks
meaning, truths

about affection,
a way to believe

but tarot cards reveal
the Hanged Man
and for thirteen hours

suspension: upside down
mulling over Ms:

bones malleable
under his weight,
a Midwest drawl

to make him swoon,
masturbating,

mistake, marriage,
Mrs.

day thirteen: along
currents of the Nile
she murmurs in his ear

use both lips
together,

air over tongue,
constrict airflow,
vibrate vocal cords

and you’ll know Me

I don't know. That result seems more to me to be a reason Melissa SHOULD be given such broad and odd topics.
