When we are there
pressed between
the pages of our minds

the slow turning
burning images
engraved

no longer, blank

words dance

across the page

writhings written

in bindings of two.

{Five hundred twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
five hundred twenty five thousand
moments to dear
five hundred twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
how do you measure - measure a year?

In daylights-in sunsets
in midnights-in cups of coffee
in inches- in miles
in laughter- in strife

In five hundred twenty five thousand
six hundred minutes
how do you measure
the year in a life  }
{from Rent}

I like that 'bindings of two'-- a very good image, and cleverly done.
