I blink my eyes, and the sentences jump,
again, and the ink changes color.
I slam the book shut
and spill coffee all over it
and a new paragraph appears,
as if by magic.
Like a treasure map in tales,
fairy
an invisible pen scratches in
new landmarks,
knave, the scoundrel
who hid his heart's treasure
in a box between the lines
and glued into the binding.
again, and the ink changes color.
I slam the book shut
and spill coffee all over it
and a new paragraph appears,
as if by magic.
Like a treasure map in tales,
fairy
an invisible pen scratches in
new landmarks,
and time lets me
retrace the steps of the one-legged knave, the scoundrel
who hid his heart's treasure
in a box between the lines
and glued into the binding.
-Citron
