What if you are just a page in a book?

There is one task:

To hold some words

In place in time and space,

For without you the words would lose their footing

And fall

Without ever having time to say goodbye.

And then the whole book would mean something different

And the author’s aim, if there is an aim, would be either more or less complete.

But you, as a page in a book,

Stay still as guardian,

Protecting its message

Like lovers who protect a mattress’ visage

With quilted bodies.
