A Book is like a Ring of Fire


  
A book is like a ring of fire . . . 
It can take me by surprise
Strike in my inner fiber
A refulgent circle:
Its amaranthine promise
Immured, locked in
As concealed inside its self
Hid betwixt two covers
As the lined crystal light
Inside a plain grey geode stone.
In prismed script:
Life caught, and split . . .
