Book Spine Poetry

These are the books above the desk I’m working at today in my co-working space. After staring at them for a long time, I decided to write a poem using only the words on their spines #bookspinepoetry

Vlad & Tom.
Just kids, caught in the mystery
Of love and desire
With photographs of Patti Smith.

A Valentine’s prayer:
Hold still to the immortal lighthouse of life.
The monarch butterfly, in full,
Lacks the four wings of man.
