WITH A WAVE OF THEIR HANDS

My friends have all taken off their gas masks
as they welcome the dead with a wave of their hands.

While far above them, the vapor trail of a jet
dissipates across a blue sky, and it occurs to me

that they can send letters anywhere now, without stamps
or a postmark, their thoughts transmitted on air.
