I knew you
like the air
in my lungs
I gulped you in
you were my oxygen
with every stone step
you took
you caused
my small brain to
malfunction
wires undone
skin tightening
and I wondered
when the rain would fall
when the birds would caw
when the moon would crawl
into the ocean blue sky with her
big yellow eyes
when the dried mango sun would rise
just like how you and I
get up each morning
in different places
yet we burn the same way
for one another
I remember
lonely nights gazing
at the stars
no hands to hold
I asked Orion
when I could find
someone like you
oh, how you knew me
even when I was
fast asleep
even when I did
not believe
there was
anything left
to feel

Dear Mrs. Hughes
Dear Mrs. Hughes, How are you? How have you been doing? Has life been going well? These are questions that cannot fully express how much I want to thank you for your guidance, even if only for a couple of months. You may have forgotten but this is a key moment in my life that I’ll never forget.

For the Instructions Included challenge, we asked writers to tell a story through instructions and to trust the form to carry what could not be said outright. Across the top entries, that trust paid off in many different ways.
