Excerpt from novel: with Abandon

i’m an old book that She loves to reread.

She has favorite quotes of mine
and likes to snuggle up with me
on the corner sofa under a dim lamplight
and just spend the night that way.

Abandon is a new hardcover
—from an up-and-comer—
that isn’t dog-eared or water-logged.
it fills Her with suspense; oh, yes,
Abandon is full of surprises.

Frida Bilson
