ash in a burnt library

 ash in a burnt library


the bookmarks draw our attention

to the message of the ash

the cauda equina of an empty spine

embossed in the bending of flame

gold leaf in the furnace of thought

smoulders then bursts into tears

quenching my gritty eyes

lipping a smile and a wink

matchless in finale 

smouldering the norm now

look out

another shelf crashes to the floor 

the runes are in ruins 

stare
