the secret library

there is a secret library

in the backlot

behind the school

go there and read its pages -

wildflowers tilting to & fro

weeds that can be eaten -

mugwort & lambsquarters

& black mustard

go to the secret library

and eat its pages

you will be overtaken

by the first forces

to collide here 
to form this sun-
orbit sphere

now they’re inside you

and they will be

long after the school

collapses into dust

and the concrete

erodes back

into calcium and clay
