Notes on a Memory

Her pen has run dry
Inscriptions lie deep
In grooves on white paper
Dustings of eraser
Litter the page

Notes no longer legible
To the naked eye
Line after line
Muffled in silence
Lie dormant
Until someone determined
Enough to dive deeper
Past lines on the surface,
Rub her words to life

Reminds me of being young and discovering I could use a pencil to rub on its edge across pages in notebooks where the page above had been written on but torn out to uncover what secrets had been written before... nice imagery!
