a spoon and book/ book very old

a spoon and book
book very old
yellowed pages with dark ink
speckled with some foxing
a translation of the constitution of solon

winter day
steaming mug wafting
heat and moisture up up stirred
by a spoon and keeping the book
translation of solon in an impeccable state

irreplaceable this
spoon old book and bright day
increasing age over everything laid
but the essence just temporarily staid
translation demanded by the freedom sent
