The Princess Saves Herself in This One by Amanda Lovelace

5.0

the princess i was born
a little bookmad.

i could be found stroking
the spines of my books

while i sat locked alone
inside my tower bedroom.

all the while, i hoped my books
would spill their exquisite words

over the lush green carpet
so i could collect them one by one

& savor them like
berries inside of my mouth.

- forever a collector of words.


when i had
no friends
i reached inside
my beloved
books
& sculpted some
out of
12 pt
times new roman.

- & it was almost good enough.


fiction:
the ocean
i dive
headfirst
into
when i
can
no longer
breathe
in
reality.

- a mermaid escapist II.
