MILDRED

Waiting.

Mr. Cohen said he’ll call me

when he hears from Judge Bazile.

I stopped calling him and asking.

The answer is always no.

I decided a letter might be better.

Dear Mr. Cohen,

Hope that you remember us.

You took our case.

We haven’t heard anything

in so long, we’ve given up hope.

Sincerely,

Mr. and Mrs. Loving
