"The Librocubicularist"
The rain gently strokes the window panes
they’re foggy from the warmth inside
she’s caught up in sheets of
pages, white Egyptian cotton bounds her long naked
legs, she turns over on her side as she’s caught in different stages.
She moves her long slender fingers
over her captive’s
words, ever so softly whispers,
“I wish this story would never end.
Make me your infinite final draft,
I’m now in your story, my friend”.
She reaches over and turns on "The Silent Forest",
it’s a Chillstep Mix,
"It’s going to be a very slow
read", she muses.
The rain lashes outside
pounding harder and harder,
the bed shakes.
What a perfect
day to be held captive
in her story,
listen to her reign.
She thinks of "Little Earthquakes".
