Read You Like A Book. a poem by (me!) sandra, tvgp
read.
read you.
read you like a book.
that is,
i will regard your cover. note the design. the colors. the words. the blurbs. the forward. the dedication.
flip you back and forth a few times.
open you up. a random location.
lick my finger. close my eyes. land on a predetermined word.
run my finger across and down.
skip past cliches. the ands. the the's. the this' & that's. the so's and the very's.
treasure hunt for gold. between the lines. i linger.
reread. go back. skip ahead.
put you in the context you intended; and the context i project.
continue. skipping and lingering....
until i reach deep inside
to the last word
on the last page.
-confirming what i knew a hundred paragraphs before:
"i love you."
and i'm gonna need some more;
of you.
and your book. and your story.
unend.
