silence
girl sitting next to me
in the packed library studying light
holds her breath linen
halfway down the page dress
places a book out the way light hairs
arm across my notepad neck
shifts holds as she pauses scalp
hair fall as she pencil notes toe
right tail flicks italic lead points
is she flirting with me

girl & muse wormhole: ‘in the bookshop …’
hair wormhole: handsome
reading wormhole: calm down
university wormhole: glass
Yes, she is.

What did Pepys say, “when you keep a diary you live three times: when you live it, when you write it and when you read it.” Something like that.
