Bookends
By: Lori A. Zybala
stories that fall on empty minds / never make it upon the shelf
individual leaves of paper / numbered – without a proper home
wandering loosely / susceptible to the mighty wind
longing for security / belonging – a genre of artistic composition
romance / mystery / horror
absent of form / style / content
stories remain unbound / no beginning - end
empty bookends / an unwritten life / unsupported markers of time

I like that last verse of : "empty bookends / an unwritten life / unsupported markers of time"
Not sure why, but that verse hits me clearly today.
Lori, do the back slash marks indicate a new line?
