The Fine Consumption Of Books
The fine consumption of booksOccupies the earthbound mind
Seeking flight in reverie.
This sumptuous fare is best handled with fingers,
Devoutly tracing texture and bind
Lovingly lingering upon every
unspoken word.
Dramatic flourishes of heart and hate
Are consumed with every find --
Like twinkling pieces of confection'ry.
The fine consumption of books,
Unable to sate nor confine,
Entices and lures the travel weary
tired of following the herd.
