Description:

A character that's been running through my head for awhile. Part of a series of poems.


John 2: Books


John fled the city eyes
and took refuge in libraries
(books smelling the same
no matter where you are).

Sequestered in dim-lit corners,
he pressed his face against spines
and dug fingernails into old leather.

Jane, he whispered,
Oh God--Jane,
they still smell like you.

  So John's long dead girlfriend Jane was either an avid book reader or a librarian. After he lost her, his whole world fell apart and he became a transient, a roamer. No matter where he went, though, he could not escape the memory of Jane.

These three poems you have written are quite interesting. You should write some more. I like them very much. Then again, I always like your poetry.

Jane, Jane, Jane.
