a room of unread ink
every sentence that was ever written in this room is still here.
the room has been filled to capacity with them, and then sealed.
none of them are above the silt.
to read, drag a light across. to recover, see white.
to go further, see deepest, or
the basement, or stand a moment in
midnight.
sometimes a candle is left here. it is rarely
relit. ash remembers everything the room forgot.
