Somewhere in that construction
assembled book by book
hexagon by hexagon
in the visions of Jorge Luis Borges
there lies a depot
where all of the words
typed,
scribbled,
imagined
from
futures
presents,
pasts,
are collected, categorised and catalogued
so they may be ordered
so that they may be homed
in 410 page collections bound and
backed in crimson
as to allow placement into hexagonal homes.
I get the feeling it’s where my lost poem is.

This lost poem thing may continue for a while.

I love Borges story. Your poem does it justice.
That’s about the best I could manage.
Really is a magnificent piece of writing.
Thank you for commenting.
Pasts, presents & futures have a way of getting mixed, melded & frustrated with one another…
Yup, everything is very confusing.
Fun to (try to) figure out though.
Lovely. I like this almost better than the first–though I really like the precise imagery of the first–the man behind the cassia desk. Keep with it, by all means! K.
I don’t know what’s left of the lost poem stuff. Maybe something else with come through.
I did run with it though. Which was nice.
i love “typed scribbled imagined.” also, i want to live in a book tunnel.
Thank you for commenting.
And a book tunnel would be the best thing. Really, they should replace stairs.
I think futures, presents, and pasts are all this instant–that everything in creation now and ever, IS now!
And so I’m wondering. Might everything typed, scribbled, imagined, be all melded (melted–grin!) into One concept, One truth which–in the final analysis–like ‘love’? Or other conceptual giving, receiving, sharing, being, doing?
Boy, I DO need to get some sleep, right? Enjoyed your excellent writing, and tomorrow I gotta go back in time in your blog. Thanks for your visit…..
PEACE!
I love this! pic and words both – ah yes, where the lost poems are… somehow makes sense that one would find them in Babel. 🙂
Finding the picture was accidental. Good accidental though.
And the lost poems have to go somewhere. Seemed appropriate they would go to were all of the words ever are housed.
And thank you for commenting.
Did you ever see the anime Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex . For some reason it reminded me that particular scene. It’s a decent watch if you haven’t seen it and are interested.
No but I have seen the first one. And liked it.
So I should at some point get round to seeing the second one. Would be my first anime in a while. And by while I mean years.
Borges’ short story is fabulous. If you want you can read it at

It is a marvelous story.
Doesn’t hurt to have a handy link. Thank you for that.
Poem was good. And for the picture, I found El Filibusterismo, and oh Pilipinas (Philippines)!
Finding things is good. I like that.
