The sun burns my face
tender on midwinter morn
a finger through a flame

i fall on my knees
before this wasteland of words,
the books abandoned
to basement junk shops,
aligned on splintered shelving
ordered in chaos:
orientalists
and philosophers unread
(unread as undone,
the pages gone blank
the letters turned back to white,
white on white thought-blight).
Yet still I write,
a pliable sight.
