There exists a book69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3H6OSvUu1j
that withholds to be opened twice.
Its pages are not made of paper69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtYgfALkkT
but of hesitation cooled into form,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO2H1nw2Me1
and its binding is stitched69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2zAelJJwvc
with something resembling quiet.
I have seen it only when the light goes astray —69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡStac1lrB3t
when lamps grow theatrical69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHoViorRXeN
and corners become too honest.
Words appear, then reconsider themselves,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡURXnOky79I
leaving behind the imprint of meaning69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhGHge6DKoA
without the inconvenience of certainty.
Ink here does not dry;69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdxKeof344W
it dawdles like a well-mannered secret,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡcdLkzU5aDT
refusing to smudge,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡB2dZiXRXjX
declining to leave.
Sometimes the pages turn on their own,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8qOiXSfYWy
though no hands are present69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaMUiDVyd85
to take credit.
And in the margins,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIPObuTdgKL
where explanations might have lived,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWHSxXpJ0cI
there are only delicate indentations 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡknsvPWnEB5
of what thought might look like69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxZtl0PV5U7
if it learned to behave.
The book is never finished.69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiu89WPkUe6
It prefers suspense to conclusion,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡp1xfAKud1q
and silence to interpretation—69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoPXN1WldIv
a very respectable form of captivation.
How it survives69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡelxNvIbRmX
without ever being read69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAxfNoat9Nk
is not a mystery,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5xfgnIyAMY
but a habit it resists to break.
It learns the shape of waiting69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsMKEHSIm5b
so well69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX1U8XNJ5ND
that even time holds back; 69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQNtycNleDE
to disturb it.
And when someone finally dares69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMhZtMLSd6N
to name its contents,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIyVzsr6LKi
the letters step aside69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1Bt9KUE7dj
politely69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxOZD7yw3bk
as if they were never meant69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWUAYdDrX9g
to be seen at all.
So the book remains69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡipiItr3pNk
what it always was:69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOgk3KYehV
a place where meaning goes69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVoeGorKnzb
when it decides69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGO2XFskgu
not to arrive.
It was in a paper mausoleum69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZh4qON114y
Or in a ruin of notebooks?69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOwFvMhaUgj
Ash gray;69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVUoEKnrNW
Buried in dust,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyx94LhobmO
All that was to fade69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0RN4nXSaRx
Or to remain dormant.
There was something tragic about its unused pages,69Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPhPHEw6s9X
The dog eared corners, and candlewax stains.
