You, Me, and Him took time out for me today you tagged along anyway welcomed thoughts while the bookstore beckoned cheap books cheap books for sale I wondered at those authors’ fire kilned hot to prove as words poured lovingly went warm into each phrase and line in forming crystal memories cheap, indeed! No, no not hardly but I walked in anyway and yes, the offerings of sale were something that would not grace my shelves, so I went for the classics but you were one step ahead of me so I followed those thoughts of you and found Him wondered aloud if you had this last book he left unfinished then picked up by others as speculators hypothesized would he have published this….. never mind…. he is the author you have so admired and I know you are thereby inspired so take this small gift of worn page and wrapper and query… is a gift of something old but new to us that which should be wrapped afresh in foil and ribbon, that we would not realize the preciousness of something old, sent first class? |

I received an old book of poetry in the mail from a mutual friend. I think that you would like it. It arrived in a package with flowers she'd picked from her yard. Got any ideas who this friend is? A nice poem, Decaflame. I love old book stores. Heck, I love old books!Michael Michael Auguste~ |

Decaflame--enchanting feeling in bookstores and worlds of words...priceless most, I think from all that went to get them bound. Wonderful poem! |
