The Heart of my Book

A piece
A reminder
My bookmark –
The heart of my book
Pumping
Waiting
For your eyes to enter
A guiding map that wanders lost

The heart of my book
Small like a chess piece protecting its king

The heart of my book – the core
The pages kept safe within its hold
Thin but thick layered
with yarns
My bookmark –
here it lies
Not my
But THE Heart of my book
