The Cemetery of Forgotten Books
Blue tinted gloom
obscured sinuous contours
of marble staircase, of gallery frescoes
peopled
with angels and fabulous creatures.
through a palatial corridor
Sprawling round hall
Spiraling basilica shadows
pierced. by light.
A labyrinth
e
s
o
r
base to pinnacle
a beehive,
woven with
tunnels steps platforms bridges
presaged an immense library of seemingly impossible geometry.
A place of mystery, A sanctuary.
In this place
Every book,
Every volume,
a soul.
Every time
Eyes run down its pages
it’s spirit strengthens.
Here
Books no longer remembered,
Books lost in time,
live forever,
waiting.
