Inspired by a new (and lovely) journal.
like the smash of glass
and rush of bubble
against the side of mariner's vessel;

the binding whispers obligingly
as it cracks open in its debut.

pages crinkle, brushing off the
plastic cling of pre-owner
slumber, like a mouth first opening

wide to greet the world.
