Devotion

nothing compares to that
of one's most beloved book
hands on threaded seams
a crinkled spine, curled pages
from being read and carried
a hundred times over
tucked away in sacred enclosure
each new gingerly glimpse
discovers another impression
bookmarked in blueprint
of revered recollection
