Lost for words

Lost for words
I’m in the garden,
looking at a plant,
Only yesterday

stubbornly refusing to come
clean,
teasing my brain.

Poetry book

Weekly Poem Or Poem of the week, if you will.
Poetry book, a love of the pages and of the ages..........
A bookcase in the afternoon,
the space I moved you from,
bedfellows either side
