the happiness of new books first read

the happiness of new books first read

I remembered that, and, remembering that, I remembered everything.

it was a sad and beautiful day
just two days into summer
cresting the longest daylight

it was sad and beautiful
in the way an orange segment
tastes and feels in your mouth

separately and now quite separate
we waited on and finally received
the same book like a gift from god

when i realized my deep true selfishness
wishing i could have made you as happy
as the happiness of new books first read
