Over the edge

The smaller book

On the expansive mantle

New yet dusty

Well read yet misplaced

Within lies contents

Cacaphonic

Deeper, darker

Sadder and slicker

Chaotic and empty

Fraught with cracks

The glass cover

Stares beyond

Into its murky dark

Cursing placement

A black work

Among white wrapping

The sheep is glass

In a plantery war

Self aware looming

Nihilistic scooting

Motivation blooming

Fate dooming

1 step, 2 step 3

To the selfish end

The wooden rope rimmed

Acute silver cliff

Slip and fall

Tumble and turn

Over and over

A loud crack

And silence

Shards of paper

The night gazes

The moon looks out

From its collage

Shattered

As it should be
