Best Anacortes Business:
First time I entered
Watermark Book Company,
reproductions of Henri Matisse
enfolded me into the world
of a reader.
Poetry, novels and nonfiction
lit up the shelves.
In the corner, under lamp light,
I found canopy of sustainable words.
They spoke deeply.
They were waves of sound
in a real community store.
