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
