I love this series of yours. I've been passing a disgarded book on the freeway every day on my way to work:
A discarded volume blown wide by passing exhaust as though toxin breathed bird with biblical wings of rice paper and aching to fly, it's effort born of script across bloated pages
Thanks, Annie. In fact, I read your entry earlier this morning and enjoyed it. Of course I’ve already carried the scene forward in my head to your eventual rescue, when you bring the book home and nurture it back to health.
If only I could. It is located on the high curve of the freeway where two converge. There is no shoulder to speak of and no way to walk there without a perilous journey of a mile or so. Yes, of course, it would be worth it :)
I am ever so curious of it. If I can find a way...
