The Smell of Old Books

BooksOld

The sense of smell sits
Connections that conjure
Collecting layers of
Evolving volatiles that
Waft from the timeworn
Measures that manufacture
A primitive primer
Chemical keys tumble
Marking the milieu
The breath of the books
Bound by ribs and backbone :
The figments from the Higgs
Valid by touching a
On the margin of memory,
The relics and records
Dust, darkening buddhi .
Whiff of chocolate or coffee,
Tomes drafting whilom tense :
The mind from milestones .
for Particles present,
The levers of the locks :
With molecular intimacy .
Entrenches being in chapters ;
Structure for the specter ;
Field hadroning an ego,
Vague typographic corpus .
