Electricity bouncing off the walls

I saw its beauty

Leather bound and wrapped

The wooden knob

Pulled tight against

Its skin

The tree covering the cover

Engraved roots and branches large

Intertwining in each other

I can feel the indentations in the leather cover

I open it

I can feel its pages sticking together

Like a boy grabbing onto its mother before it leaves the nest

They part

And the page is crisp and pure

My palm drapes down its surface

I christened it with precious words

I have chosen intentions of adoration to its wonder

Its mystifying nature

That leaves me outside of time

When I indulge in her whims

Seduced by her

Into long evenings of timeless electricity bouncing off the walls and back again
