The Bookmark

 

She took a random book

from his poetry collection

down from the library shelf,

and fanning through the pages,

found a bookmark he had left.


The bookmark marked

page 37 in the poetry book

by Mary Oliver titled:

Red Bird.



He had underlined these lines

from Oliver's poem titled:

"Sometimes"...


"Pay attention.

Be astonished.

Tell about it."


He did.

He was.

He told.
