"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". (Lovejoy-Burton/ December 2017) 1.

I am captured...Reminds me of that story The Collector. Depends on which side of the Glass Onion one is sitting on, Clegg. Miranda.

I had to look up "Librocubicularist", love learning something new. You had me at Pete Townsend, one of my musical heroes. Great write. Welcome to the Soup.

Rain, Pete Townsend and Tori Amos, this is what happens when you read too many books. "Love, Reign o'er Me". "She is too fond of books, and it has addled her brain".
