BEHOLDEN

BY MELISSA BLACK

The NEAR and FAR cards were printed by Cumbersome Multiples Press on a 1928 Chandler & Price letterpress using antique wooden type. PonyXpress writers wrote a response to the word on the cover. The cards were passed to the next writers and they used the prompt to write on the back.

Interactions between us, appreciated.

Your hand sitting on the table
towards me
expressive.

Suggestive companionship,
unless I’m day dreaming.

Interactions between us, appreciated
my heart feels affectionate gratitude.

Admiration to you, for being the bridge
to understanding me.

Your time is beholden. | MB
