To be

I am not
A simple book
To be read, no


Take me in
Embellish my pages
Scrawl murmurs into the deepest recesses of my covers
Fold my pages
And tear them out


Burn them
And watch my words escape into the air


Soak them in water
And watch my words dissolve into nothingness


And in
Drinking my knowledge
You take it in
To be sought
And loved


I am
A simple book
To be read

  1. Really well done, the visual imagery is really well done. I love the word nothingness too, if it's a word, it's great either way. Overall I enjoyed the way you thought about reading it gave me a new perspective on it.
