Anywhere Imaginable by David Demro

Anywhere Imaginable is the place I go when writing poetry and my first full-length collection of work – comprising over 100 poems. Somewhere between Eating Ice Cream in the Flames and To The Moon, I hope you find a poem or two that resonates with you and stays with you throughout the years.

Ah! The Bookstore…

It’s been so long
that I forgot
how elating

the aromatic smell of
new books
can be,

and as I wander
near the espresso bar
I realize

I still can’t decide
which I prefer more:
the smell of new books

or fresh-brewed espresso,
but there’s no need
to decide now

because I’m
basking in both at
the bookstore.
