[in honor of anyone who ever felt they needed just one more book(may this imaginary book you won't find in any bookstore or library meet all the requirements and give you peace) or- maybe you should write the perfect book yourself!]
in the beginning, golden scriptures, a bird's-eye view of Heaven with crystal ceilings- obscure fairytales
you haven't read yet, inscribed on pond lilies; fleeting
passages like window snows at Christmas; hand stenciled-
stained glass window pane dreamed up by shopkeepers
and so that the soul
says o!
angel choir illuminations lidded with tissue papers
not to scar the heart, the heart fluttering the pages for something- something -a whiff of new cut grass, perhaps, deep legends, rose-leaved, carved out of ivories
made for a queen in secret,
with pale green ribbon markers.
antique as rains, the leather; new fielded lavender with matching illustrations like a Spring outfit; recipes for huckleberry pies with the corresponding 'picture-perfect' and then it's a pop-up pie, oh my!
and it's all coming true
and here's a slice for you!
(with ice cold strawberries....)
