A is for Apple

My room still has its baby-books:

toadstools,
and toads that sit under them.

A place to shelter 
is a precious thing. 

When it rains,
I read words becuase they are lovely, 
books because there are books:

with thick pages
that smell just as paper should. 

with life-things permuted 
into ordered sets.

A is for apple.
