she fell in love with words one day
she fell in love
with words one day
although that isn't entirely true
because she had always been in love
with words
something she had inherited
from her parents
like her earlobes
or the color of her eyes
but one day
she felt that love of words
in her center
deep in her middle
where words spoke to her womb
calling to her sickness
not a hospital but a library
or a bookstore
where the smell of coffee
and the taste of ink
were the perfect blend
of bitterness to calm her
a soul seeking the soothing scent of
words
she fell in love
with words one day
and he could see it
in the tilt of her head
while her eyes followed
the words flowing before her
