Harper Library

You left your blue tutu
and your computer
in the afternoon sunlight
where silence does have a sound,

hums among
chandeliers and paintings
of presidents
and books and books.
Oh, books, books!

Pictured you as my pretty
blue bride, pirouetting
with the netting cast
as bright shadow across your face,

looked across the aisle
and saw this title:
'Heaven: A History'
just next to
'The Decline of Hell.'

Your browser dreamed
of Barcelona.
Let's away to Europe.
Let's study abroad.
