every book
left
on the shelf
longs
to be
handled
to see
lips
pursed
blowing
and
dusting off
the pages
of
their lives
to feel
inquisitive
hungry
hands
turn
the story
of
their
solemn
souls
these boundless
leafs
leaving
their
lonely
overcrowded
and
far too
understanding
shelves
behind
no longer
caring
where
or how
they are
read
as long
as
it is
with
meaning
in their
knowledge
knowing
that for the
right write one
they would
rather burn
their remaining
unread pages
for heat
than ever have to face
being returned
to those
stuffy shelves
again
