Borrowing a Book
September 3, 2015
Your skin is freckled with neon-yellow highlighter
Ballpoint ink spiders across your cobweb eyes
Your lips are coated with rosy yesteryear
(“The wise are never good, and the good never wise.”)
I folded my heart in your dusty pages
And when I came back to collect it
There was nothing left in the place that it marked
Except a fading pressed cowslip.
