Shelfmark Hollow

Haikus

Look upon the shelf
The index points to nowhere
Avatar of void

Only what is gone
Is allowed to enter here
Shelfmark keeps it blank

Investigate it
We need the space that we lost
Hollow laughs at us

Shelfmark is empty
Book was never on the wood
Hollow is the space

Label points to naught
We catalog the vacuum
Library of dust

Read the empty page
The identifier is blank
Record is a ghost

Shelves are falling down
But the hollow holds them up
Structure is a lie

Find the missing tome
It was never written down
File it anyway
