Deliberate Library

Someday I will have read 
every book I own,
every page from every pile
of bargain secondhand book lots
bought Just Because,
every tipsy stack of yellowed classics
whose reputation precedes them.
I will determine what I need,
keep what's meaningful to me,
and fill my home, my library,
deliberately with only what I love.
