unpacking book boxes
is like reading through
old diaries books
forgotten Guerilla Girls
stare at you through masks
the art of surrealists
that makes your mind whirr
long unpracticed recipes
from cook books purchased
on a whim the author
whose books fill your
shelves because you love
the imagination or structure
of her works the poet
you read avidly trying
to learn her secrets
politics ecology globalisation
torture economics war and
every nuance of feminism
all this and much much more
from just unpacking boxes
