ARCHIVE

ARCHIVE

pitched up at the University
in time
    for my lesson

but there
was no lesson
no lecturer
no classroom

no
University

just dust and smoke and,
in the distance
the burning
archives

but perhaps I misinterpreted this
perhaps I
got in wrong
      in solitary confinement
you made it sound
so reasonable

ark of the archive
archive of the covenant

with no
archive how will they know
how I was disappeared?
