Guest Writer Spot

It’s my pleasure to reveal today’s Guest Writer as the very talented, Alyson Faye. It’s always a treat to feature Alyson’s work here.

Treasury

by

Alyson Faye

Tripping over stuttery feet

I race up the winding staircase

to the room, where me and my dreams meet.

 

There lined up, all on loan,

are the foxed, the dog-eared

the never borrowed tome.

 

Touch trace the dust covers,

gently smell the ink’s print,

caress some of the others.

 

Along the spines, curated here,

I make my fingertip search.

Here lies my heart’s home.

This, is my real church.

 

It’s a reunion, every Saturday

to be relished and recorded.

A treasure trove to be looted,

memories made and then hoarded.
