Spines in Lines

A poem for unread books

Spines in lines,
And pages still,
Their promise unfulfilled.

Secrets kept,
In rows of text,
Just waiting to be spilled.

They stay just things,
Bought on a whim,
Until you spend the time.

With whispered words,
A universe,
That’s bound to change your mind.
