Red Library #2 Louis E Bourgeois stand from the doorway there is too much light that is not blue or green not enough order to set you right not enough disorder to understand order not enough books to cover the right angles not enough statue to bring you to life an old lamb’s song may be heard outside but it is not for you nothing here green or blue the chiaroscuro of the arch doorway is emblematic of what was once you the books are tight the books are on fire the carpet is a sea the globe is bleeding you moved an inch your shoulders have rounded I cannot save you the room is blue and green |
