the arthritic librarian

 the arthritic librarian


the pain booked

on the top shelf of   if only

reached by a ladder wrung of words

hobbled from the hands

that placed it there

the pagination 

of an imagination 

that could move you 

to read what was written

up there

in an attempt to make it

all right again with god

while down here

the ladder’s gnarled feet

refuse to slide
