A Stack of Stiff Paper

Evening brought stillness indoors. Near the base of the low shelf, three heavy art magazines sat stacked in an offset staircase. I stepped onto the lowest spine, feeling the matte, ribbed binding compress slightly beneath my sole. With deliberate balance, I reached toward an oversized ribbon bookmark trailing from the middle volume, guiding its stiff grosgrain weave straight along the vertical edge of the pages. The line aligned perfectly with the bookshelf's corner. I paused there, standing firm against the sturdy column of paper as quiet settled around us.#Cloak #Cloakanddagger @u2christ
