i roamed into darkness
as the moonlight shed its light
in the dusty panes of the old
temple.
were the tombs of a thousand
pages unmoved,
of unseen things,
of obscure meanings
from his little grey cells.
and caressing the yellow plates,
fingers ran into deep vacuums to glean
the transcendent thoughts,
the laws of common sense
that he often uttered
in this temple
a perpendicular impulse
hovering in the shadows,
laid still, holding on to his
immovable designs,
unmoved.
