Love by email

Can I send you
My love
In an email?

I am my words,
Only words
They stand ready

There is truth in them
They are coming
I dispatch them

They shutter
As the current passes through them
Vibrating them

Into shimmering pulses
Of ones and zeros
Waves of words

“I send you my love
I love you
So much” they say

I imagine them arriving
At your house
De-pixelated in transit

Remerging on your desktop screen
In some unintelligible
Mutant gibberish

“Evol dsen I uoy my
love I ouy
so chmu”

I picture you
Puzzling at their arrival
What the …

Can I send you my love
In an email?
Possibly not
