To Be Read
I get home from a day of shopping and
reluctantly glance over at my unread
stack of books.
They look up at me with
big, sad, tear-filled
puppy dog eyes.
It’s all very awkward,
too awkward for me to take,
so I stack my five new books on top of them
and hide away their faces.

TSUNDOKU /tsun do-ku :
the act of acquiring books and letting them pile up unread
There is a word for that ❤️
Verb or being?
That has to be one of my favorite words in all of language!
I love this!
