dusted
raze
there
are
shelves
between
shelves
, narrow breaches
in
the
polished timber,
easy
enough
to
miss
but
not
impossible
to
find
once
you
know
where
to
look
.
that's
where
all
the
powder pools,
in
particles
so
thick
they
might
as
well
be
lint
.
any
hand
that
slides
between
those
two
painted planks
isn't
coming
back
.
neither
is
what
lives
in
the
gap
between
what's
lost
and
what
won't
be
forgotten
.
but
we
won't
be
buried
beneath
the
dirt
of
indifference
.
this
tissue
my
cloth.
this
hammer
my
heart
.
these
ovules
my
eyes
,
alive
inside
the
womb
of
an
evening
not
yet
grown
.
