Reading, a poem by Seher Kaur

 another book

to add to the pile.

always read thoroughly

til my fingers slide onto the last few chapters.

already aware of what happens next,

(past me does not care for the consequences of spoilers)

but can’t bear the thought of a book ending.

and for all the finished ones?

read,

over and over again

till every page is memorized.

because the fear of the possibilities 

that exist and intertwine

with approaching a new book

are too much for my dull excuse of a person to handle.
