read to them
literature a litany
of love sounds
and soft words
write to them
a collection of letters
carefully placed one
next to the other
the comma is the breath
when you pause
to listen
is how to love
a librarian
take them
at a bookstore
after closing
the fiction falls
from the shelves
and the floor
is a flood of ink
and paper under
your bodies
to seduce
a librarian
slip a
story in
and catalog it
a living archive
