Back Covers
I see life in book endings.
from sand beach weddings
to dragon defeats,
where not even fire can heat
an emotion so hot as to
have a clue
about what it means.
But in all honestly,
I don’t believe
in those book sales for new books.
There are older ones,
colder ones,
sitting on the back of shelves.
They’re only 25 cents inside
your local bookstore where they hide
the diamonds in the rough
to see who’s tough enough
to find them.
And although I only see book endings,
they always mean new beginnings,
because there’s forever another book to pick up.
