The Book That CallsÂ
I came across it a while ago, and more recently stillÂ
The algorithm brings this book around from time to time
I would read quotes as emotionally charged music plays in the background.
Then one day, it dawned on me, this is one of those books that promises to break my heart.
And one day, I am going to let it go.Â
I will watch as my tears pooled around every eye lash until all I see are blurred lines.Â
My heart, then, will have no choice but to seek refuge in my lap as my chest grows to be too tight of a space.Â
This book will have me cradle my heart in the palms of my hands.Â
Only after immense tenderness, will it go back to where it belongs.Â
Should someone anticipate being taken apart by a book this much? I don’t know.
It is one of those books that calls you, and the journey to it seems inevitable somehow.Â
That book and I have a dance to dance, so I will make room on my dance card for it.Â
It is now April 2, and the algorithm struck again!
I had this sudden and vivid picture of the book walking towards me in the middle of the night.Â
A candle in her left hand and a shielded knife in the other, with a gentle smile and expectant eyes that ask “are you ready to be cut open? Are you ready to be mended?”
I like to imagine that I would hesitate, but I think it is premeditated yes.
