Diligently digesting
The written word
Letters dance delicately
Like hummingbirds
Risqué authors such as
Irvine Welsh & Tony O\'Neill
They are the cone around my head
While my wounds heal
Motionless actors frozen on stage
It\'s never too late
To pick up where you left off
At the folded page
Slow right down
Breathe, escape
A leisurely stroll
Not a hectic race
Pupils enlarged
Lips pursed
Delightfully delicious
Is the written verse
