the walls are myriad of divisions
filled with volumes of reference and fiction
enough words to satiate ambition
to worlds and places blindness envisions
in this house of books thrives Plato’s dictions
along with Homer’s poetic tales
and Melville’s Captain Ahab’s quest for whales
the hallways are author’s jurisdictions
tending to imaginations and grails
looking for a way out through the portals
immortality a vex for mortals
who must
solve the secret of lamp’s curtails
for the day’s end draws on window outside
and one must not keep still with those inside
