pre-booked

 pre-booked


nostrilled rhymes in times laid bare

down the ventral spine of this old book

read and reckoned and many a time

did lay deep inside its snooze

summer’s fireplace cobwebbed 

still waiting for the ignition of winter

the flake of a thought fingerprint

in the infinite configuration of neurones

that fire this one way only

this once and only once 

did that thought think that thought

before the book slammed shut upon the

awakening of a thought that a dream 

in dissipation had only a few spaces left

a few sun stirrings in the sunbeam

as hands turn and placings place

every thing just where it should be

an is until the book falls open again 

at sage page’s indifference 

as a finger traces the line
