Salient

--
Ticking rhythm
in slow, sepia exposures;
I sense your salience -
hear the unfolding
of presaging quotations
laundered from the books
that lie littered
by our bed.
Open to the sun,
the pages quiver;
while origami thoughts,
like butterflies,
spin around and settle
from your voice
to my head.
