This is excellent.
I must admit, although I like arty bookmarks, I now crease a corner! ;-)
busy café
she lifts a bottle of beer
a fresh leaf of her book
Really great to see you on Tinywords.

I connect with this, Michael…
I can almost feel the words rising through

straight to your heart.
Hi Michael,
A very different take . . .
Exquisite!

reading in bed
a moth resting
on my heartbeat
from my vol “At the Turn of the Seasons” (2003)
reading in winter twilight-
each word
comes to life
