Bookshelf
a home for stories
blankets of dust on some
the likes of Carroll, Poe, and Hemingway
all within reach of twelve year old me
whose feet were planted squarely
whose mind was planted elsewhere
in my room just down the hall
from the loving demons of our past
these travels along literary highways
by fingers that struggled with the logic
behind cleaning your room every day
came to bare in places like
Aesop's Fables and The Raven
