The books
they laugh
more than one voice
They mean nothing alone
They don't go on without breaks.
books can choke animals of all sizes: look out for books.
When you try to swim in books
every word
appears more lucid than in reality
because in reality, there are no books.
I thought I was overwhelmed
And I filled houses.
With labyrinths
With books
to hide inside.
I bought shelves with endless lengths
And I filled them with trinkets and books.
but eventually, I had no blood in my veins.
All I could do was dry up
while I read your stories in the books
And all I could do was convert
A useless presence of myself
looking at the mirror of the page.
There are ten breaks worth
in a lifetime
ten voids
ten unwritten spaces.
Szép Róbert XII. H
