i once went swimming in the sea
to catch a book

and when its pages looked at me
i felt my fear

i tried to read the things i saw
through purple paint

and thought to grasp her tooth and maw
an empty doll

his tongue unwilling thus to say
brown eyes see blue

to die live die by magic may
a language write

no perfect way to weave a sigh
to catch a wave

the running ink saves only my
Integrity

Dedicated to all the books I plan to read in future, and especially to the ones that manage to read me back.
