Dollars
by Parker Tettleton

He made her dollars with words inside. He’d color and fold then write and send. Inside he said the things he’d meant to show, and some of the things he didn’t mean he tried to explain, why their last afternoon was. Why dollars, she’d have said if she’d wanted to write back. She asked everything and no one. Why he could never say.
