Worlds of black-white and love-hate
Are encased, in
Keats' Nightingale,
Thornfield's ghost,
Alice's rabbit
And the big wide hole.
In languages
From Korea, Japan and Spain,
Russia, France, and Germany...
All that you can obtain!
Arthur with Excalibur
Ascends his throne,
Our monk banishes the monkey
For the Lady of Bones.
I have bibles, legends, and fairy-tales,
Words from sages throughout ages,
And the truths
That a handful
Lived to tell!
O my vast, ruby bookshelf.
