A postcard from Edinburgh



Dearest Annelies,

Jars of Seville orange jam–
or, if we’re fancy,

call it “marmalade”–
translucently shimmer in
summer Scottish light.

(Have I mentioned that
I am obsessed with this light?)
I wish you were here

drinking all the tea
with me.
               from Edinburgh,
with love,
               Stephanie.
