peculiar
raze
"
a
singular site
is
a
cabinet
which
was
my
grandmother's.
in
my
childhood
it
held
a
book
that
interpreted
dreams
.
i
was
denied access
to
this
marvel
.
today
,
the
cabinet, sheared
of
its
top
,
looks
more
like
a
washstand,
and
far
from
holding
the
books
i
most
treasure
,
it
is
a
receptacle
for
books
i
seem
to
be
forever
reconsidering.
i
don't
like
them
much
but
there
is
something
that
prevents
me
from
sending
them
elsewhere
.
it's
a
peculiar
pile
