Beskrivelse af Almost to the End

If Bookshelves Groan
If bookshelves groan
It must be with pleasure -
Imagine being weighed down
By beauty and truth in print -
Let us pray
Buckled by Joyce and Prévert
Testing the strength of your muscles -
What delicious agony
Strain my tendons, Petrarch
With all your mental Laura lust.
After all
It is what one carries that counts.
