    page turner

    reading herself like a book,
    pages yellowed from time, dog-
    eared here there, where
    a quotable smattering
    gushed out worthy. she fills
    the volume within without;
    cover worn from handling
    carelessly tenderly by yesterday's
    sticky hands impatient
    to read the next chapter.
