I.
The petulant clank of the biggest key
Tips a scale between two beasts
One click, two clicks
A multitude of sixes
Erasing away every assurance

II.
Thick, musty papers stacked
Bound by the weight of the world
Eras of knowledge lost in a forest
Chopped down {printed upon} rotting
On a delicately stained shelf

III.
An evasive, lustrous beacon
Enshrouding the darkness
Bleaching cornea, iris, soul
A torture box technology
Stored fragments of demons and dreams

IV.
Like words form sentences
Pairing for paragraphs
Stumbling into ill articulated works
Things once hated, now a lover’s letter
Ever waited upon, never again to come
