Book Never Read

In mixed dust
Resting serene
On the old bookshelf
Leaning , the insufficient wall strength
The tight room so small
For the furniture out of fashion
There is so much vermin
As in a wedding
Tasting with insatiable revelry
The freedom of poetry
On the leaves, in recycled paper
Of a book never read
