the curvature of words

this love
the curvature of words
and spines
backs and books
and page after page of
physical verbs
that slide and stretch

and speak
a language of their own

this love
the curvature of words
and trees
with branches lifted
arched bent grasping
towards the sun

this love
the curvature of words
that winding road
over dappled hills
and sunset valley's
darker wood

we swing we sway
we float
towards the next page
of lines
and characters
this love
the curvature of words
