my dear one
you have such a large stack of books on top
of you
how did you end up crushed
at the very bottom
proof
evidence
that i have not held you in far too long
neglect
and
i’ve gone unfed
here we go
i got you now
take me by the hand
through the naked woods of vermont
the caverns of my heart
This is so interesting. Is it a poem about a book? Is the book the title of this poem?
It is about a book – it’s a collection of poetry by Adrienne RIch that I keep next to my bed. 🙂
