Ode to the Hoarders by xochi quetzali cartland “The library will endure; it is the universe.” —Jorge Luis Borges Adoring architects, Sculpting cities of newspapers & burnt out bulbs. Rome wasn’t built in a day, It was years of collected dreams. & you look for God in every Thing. Sure that one of these days, He’ll be at the bottom of a hefty bag With the fish bones & milk cartons. Another Ordinary love, cluttered & disposed Of—don’t you want to be brave? Enough to see it all as worth saving?
