She used this pen to write to her sister in Des Moines,
every Thursday, like clockwork. The
envelopes always smelled faintly of rose talc and kitchen gravy, as if the week
clung to them. They wrote about nothing and everything — broken teacups, radio
prizes, what the cat dragged in. Most of those letters are gone now, but the
pen still remembers how she held it.
