A Flood of Swollen Words

I've seen a picture of a book caught in a flood from the past and marveled at what the view revealed to me, the reader The book, arced and curved to its center, like a ship's bow darkened with abandonment, and white crystals grown from pages' edge Words crystalized from every line written, touchable thoughts crystallization of the author's soul the original, unreadable, unknown The wish to witness at pad and pen as soul pours ink to paper page tonguing salty thoughts may be what imprinted from the writer to me © Goode Guy 2012-03-03 http://www.smithsonianmag.com/multimedia/photos/139705383.html
