o’er the books
under the windowsill
beneath dusty jackets and glue
... binds the tie of my being
yes, the books you are seeing
keep me filled like amish stew .
Love this! My stew has chunks of C.S. Lewis, Corrie Ten Boom, Patsy Clairmont, Elizabeth Barrett Browning, William Wordsworth, Edna St. Vincent Millay, Dorothy Parker... it's quite a smorgasbord (g?)heheeee, (obviously my stew is not alphabet)
