Post Mate

Her epistolary relationship with Bowie

Consisted of postcards mailed from

Major cities asking him for his

Hand in marriage

This was before Iman

In the Let’s Dance era

In the day-glo glam of

MTV and and its

Itinerant artists

And fans

Culminating on the afternoon

She checked her mailbox

And a postcard from NYC

Written in David’s hand

Said ‘we’re already married

Through music, my dear.’

She shed a tear

From happiness

And let the era end

On a positive note
