All the parallels
are used
to arrange meaning
on the pages
themselves in
numbered equidistance
stacked
between
jacketed verticals
on shelves aligned
in an endless room
of stubborn hemmed
selvage

words of us
choired demands
for empathy
in unmet rounds
of wanting
course
to heartbeaten surges
one by each

to the vanishing point
illusion of assignation
of truths
and selves

In the corners
of being
he sweeps
the dusty ink
fallen
into the formlessness
of understanding
need
