Silvertongue *

Leafing through book
Searching for gold
Undecidedly…

The carpet pattern
Taking the shape, looming in
Impalpable...

Will the pirate ship
with all sails set cruising
through the church windows…

The wish
Like a cuckoo
In the nest of her heart…



* Name of the central book character. Reading “Inkheart” by Cornelia Funke ~ Ch. 18 “Treasure Island”. Translated from the German by Anthea Bell.
