vellichor (n.) the strange wistfulness of used bookshops

greeted by the

rain-speckled windows

and soft candlelight glow

the dusty vanilla

yellowed pages

with curled corners

and faded print

whisper

someone else

thumbed through these pages

hugged these words to their chest

was enchanted with the same story

the beauty of a used book

should not go unappreciated
