our aspirations are wrapped up in books

–our aspirations are wrapped up in books–

said the pencilled message scrawled
across the makeshift bookmark
buried in her
dusty
pages
and whispered dreamily
from her shiny slightly-curled lips

–aspirations–

she repeated

upon the creaky finely-cracked staircase
weathered and worn with
wood-carved
desperation
and cardboard-boxed imagination

–wrapped up in–

type-set reflections and kindly-inked inspirations
glued and bound in
hardcovered
history
and paperbacked fantasy
