Between cardboard covers

It sits there staring,
beckoning me to open it,
get lost in ink and images
as if
as if I had spare time to dream.

Once I did,
before the storm,
before the lightning struck.

Would it help with searing pain?

It seeks
a sucking in,
a letting go

of someone else's loss,
their tears
their tears to cleanse my thoughts.

Someone else's plaintive pleas
now washed by rain,

their loss
their loss —

my gain.
