I worked in the library in college, and one time I had to go through all these old books cluttering a shelf, and decide which to move ot the main library and which to leave behind. I had never touched books that old, and they had a very distinctive texture and smell. I wrote a poem about them actually, lol. Anyway, that's my rambling way of saying I like this poem a lot, even as a digital girl, I haven't lost my love for physical remnants of writing.

And wanted to say thanks for stopping by and reading my poetry.

I keep forgetting to check out your poetry blog since I'm rarely here. I'm glad I did!
