The re-read book shop.

Fusty books

on pristine shelves

unsettles the dust in my mind.

Dog eared memories

of a saga

lost to unfinished chapters

in a historical romance.

 

Flicking through the pages

at re-written prices

suggests many new readers

since I first read you.

 

Only bestsellers reach my library

not to be borrowed,

so I'll move my finger along

to the next shelf

where dust jacket hardbacks

await my eyes.

    Ah, a fine trip to the book store. I enjoyed shopping with you VERY much. Found Robert Frost on one shelf. An especially satisfying poem, good poet.
