many books to read

Many Book to Read
Like fallen autumn leaves
They scatter about me
Words like lives
Awaiting rebirth

I am not their creator
But, I hold the power of life
Lazarus, come forth
I bring them to life
Again and again

Cradled in my hands
The spine crackles
The leaves whisper

The symbols spring to life
Speaking only to me
In words too soft
For others to hear

From beyond the grave
From a distant shore
I become them

You are what you eat
Therefore,
As I devour
Literary cannibalism

I am ink
I am paper
I am a spaceman, a knight
A villain, a King

For each thousand words
I speak
No sounds
Only pictures
