Waves


We were in a furniture store and I came upon a big piece
a self-contained bar, I think
and on its doors was this pattern.
It made me think of Japanese kimonos
and waves on the ocean.
It took me back-INSTANTLY--to my young boy days
Haunting the basement bookshelves at my grandparents' house
Getting lost in old books
Growing dizzy by looking at the illustrations
Diving in with both feet
