While Reading

She is dressed in an exquisite way While sitting on the library’s couch, “a rare bird”, some may even say without an excessive wordplay. Her eyes moving east to west don’t divert from the book’s page, half-smiling due to a funny jest, blinking if they need a small rest. ended a page, flap, a new one, flip, her elbow leaning on the table while licking with her tongue-tip the faint border of her upper lip. When she finally closes the book and pass among us to the door, I will raise and then I will look if she left inside a bait and a hook.
