BOOK BINDER.

A YOUNG MAN MEETS A BOOK BINDING MONK IN 1968

Brother Andrew
spreads the page
of the book bound

with his hug palm.
I take in
the chill

in the large room;
he towering,
smiles

his Manchurian smile.
It were way
room were laid

in cell
that brought me in,
this monastery,

he says.
The page edges
were of blue and red.

Reviews

[Kelly Scheppers]

I think the third and fourth stanza needs to be reworded, Terry...I got a little lost in the read.

[Terry Collett]

Thank you, Kelly. I will have a look at it.
