A heavy stillness pressing against the spines
Of stories that have forgotten how to be told,
While dust motes dance in the slanted afternoon light.

on the anvil of the long-empty aisles,
where the smell of old glue and slow decay
hangs in the air like a held breath.

a weight of leather, cloth, and numbered pages—
the spine a thin meridian between worlds,
collecting what the air forgets to name.
