While Reading
She is dressed in an exquisite way
While sitting on the library’s couch,
“a rare bird”, some may even say
without an excessive wordplay.
Her eyes moving east to west
don’t divert from the book’s page,
half-smiling due to a funny jest,
blinking if they need a small rest.
ended a page, flap, a new one, flip,
her elbow leaning on the table
while licking with her tongue-tip
the faint border of her upper lip.
When she finally closes the book
and pass among us to the door,
I will raise and then I will look
if she left inside a bait and a hook.
