Heft

You damn well know

as you read this page,

because its only 6 pages in

and the book is oh so heavy

and thick.

You damn well know, 

there is so much more.

Thrilled

by candle light

knowing you can decide to stay up all night

 and wrap your heart in old 

yellowed paper

with words that cradle your soul

characters that warm your heart. 

conflicts that entice your lazy

tired legs to move

from the place that occupies you.

You damn well know

this Heft. 

You are welcome,

to let it down.
