Slightly Foxed
I saw your camdem skirt-
swirl as you turned-
for more books from-
your rolling cart.
swirl as you turned-
for more books from-
your rolling cart.
One night you’d smiled-
and said you’d learned-
that reshelving done-
you’d touched every book-
and said you’d learned-
that reshelving done-
you’d touched every book-
in the building.
A quiet pride burned-
at order spun-
open to all.
