Famous love stories from
Paris
& poetry you
don't understand -

pages of maps from wars of the
past and
blueprints, models,
    attack plans

paintings in places
we might have been once -
and ghost towns that
I'd like to go
  the history of places buried so
deep in bomb shelters and
  trenches of
snow

From front to back
from your to my
hand,
chapters and chapters of
copy

The way that we speak is as silent
as wings:
we communicate in books
  and
  coffee
