we are books



we are books
    page and pulp
       parchment
                     penned

we are books
     no sound, no movement
         with out slight
of hand

cradled
emotion,  coddled
                 character flawed
         outlining

our life
            in lies
         in truth, in chapters torn

unfinished yet
             marked

            "touch long
                      the day with
              your lips - touch long
                    the flowering
                      my fold"

we are books
            we are pulp, paged
                     and penned

"so read my thought, so
        voice my heart, you who know me"

books - you - i

              "we are"

    unfinished yet
    marked ...ha love that...and the thought of us as books...perhaps all just wanting to be read in earnest at least once...
