Sleeping Dogs
In my closet, books-
Dog-eared, moth-eaten,
Faded print, yellowing words,
A touch turns
Brittle pages to dust,
That slips through my fingers.</p>
Dog-eared, moth-eaten,
Faded print, yellowing words,
A touch turns

Of brittle, moth-eaten times,
Like sand, if only they would slip away-
Though hidden deep down
If dusted off, where would I run,
Its best to let some sleeping dogs lie.
