It is easy for one person to think of another
after visiting them 'their house is disordered,
untidy and they have more stuff than they know
what to do with. Their tendency towards poor
housekeeping runs away with them.'.
But I would not criticise a home that is untidy
because it has books in it, even unread books
that have not changed shelf or been dusted for years.
Let the house be untidy, and some of the books read
only selectively, let there be curiosity and reason to share,
and books to lend to friends when they are otherwise
resting, Where there are surplus words, fit to be shared
let them be devoured or saved for the right season, later.
Much like friendship itself.
