Detective Story

While reading my book,
Can’t shake off the feeling that
I’ve read it before;
Just keep waiting for a piece
of conclusive evidence.

Penguins

My criteria
for a good book begin with
the bird on its spine.

Bell-jarred

Paging through Esther’s
down-spiral could lead the read-
er into madness.

Reading Between the Lines

Every book confides
Implied genealogy—
Buried novel-ties.
