Secrets

What mysteries, the inner arcane?

Bodies hide secrets
Mysteries tucked in the shadows behind the eyes
Recollections:
An invisible library,
ink without form,
Where heavy shadows stretch long and dull,
empty rivers pebbled with stony silence
barren, void.
The internal caverns echo,
a tremulous gloom,
with sighs and rustlings of unspoken words —
and on the closeted tongue
a lingering taste of ashes.
