Books of Love



Prone to joustling pranks, books of love 
get bumped, dropped, scattered, wet, and 
trampled on by passersby intent on their
 own destiny. Pick them up, dust them, 
dry them off, they wait to be opened and
 read again. They don't have any covers to
 judge by, no titles, no indexes, no instructions
 for dancing. There is only an invitation to 
join what might end up to be a hazardous
 expedition. The pay is low. The nights can
 be freezing ice, a vise gripping the ship till 
it cracks.  Lingerie is never included in 
survival kits.


But, candles are.....
