That Old Book
by Melina Raven Maness DieboldThat Old Book
full of that story I adore
so much-
That old text
with is words describing
the things that my mind dreams-
I am killing it with each read-
Thumbing the pages
yellowed and yellowing further
with my molestation-
I have broken it's spine now-
That Old Book-
But I love it so
I can't stop reading it-
Maybe
masking tape surgery can keep
it on life support
So I can read
That Old Book
at least
Once More- 09/27/2003 Author's Note: An Ode and almost eulogy to my favorite book.
