#16 Kevin Brophy 'Forever' (to Finbar)

He was the smallest boy
at the party.

He found the smallest book
in the house.

In the smallest voice
in the room

he asked me if he could
keep the book

forever.

Yes, I said, we run
that kind of library here.

Each book in the house we hope
will be borrowed eventually

by someone who will read it
and re-read it

forever
