SOMETHING

Something in the air
so strong it is I can
almost taste it

not just breathing it in
seems
to be getting to me
filtering into everything

the fusty, unread books
in my library
the arcane worlds
to which they once
gave access, were
portals
(perhaps still are)
are fundamentally disturbed
if not
rewritten

some tumble from.their shelves
one even brazen enough

to hail me, speaking as
it slo-mo summersaults down

landing open
on its spine observing
the world through a single
eye at the heart
of the page

beautiful and
yet so grotesque

bringing everything into
its field
of vision reducing

to its
big bang moment
point of view something

in the air
longed for
dreaded

outside the world, the Universe
waiting to be told
what to do

always something
rather than nothing

something and nothing something
and nothing

out of the minus of number comes
your everything.
