Invisible Ink - Maria Robinson

August
Sean's writing in teal ink on the gray vellum stationary that he left under the door at the El Minzah Hotel in Tanger.
the scrawled handwriting of a man with intent.
The drama of the romance to be. The characters meet at the Al Haifa Cafe overlooking the straits of Gibraltar.

Next March

Sean's hand on a letter to Vera in Santa Fe asking her for her to return. For another try at it.
Can she really read into the invisible ink, what is he really trying to say, what message is in this blue envelope with
stamps from Morocco. Vera will return to Tanger and they will meet again at the Al Haifa.

  1. This one is like a story poem - so much meaning condensed into a few lyrical lines. I love the notion of Sean as a 'man with intent.' I love the way you use the invisible ink prompt. Great, great work!
