Will hold you,     see if you can fit.

Hold onto this letter     and

Ease yourself down.

 

Place one foot in the margin,

This phrase will move you closer.

Brace your body between

Ink and paper.     Gently now.

 

It can be exhilarating

Once you get in.     Lean back against

The stanza.     Make yourself

Comfortable.

 

Nestle among the words,

Where it feels safe,

Where woods and love are reborn.
