shelves and canes

shelves and canes shelves and canes
broken canes and broken shelves
broken hearts and empty wells
empty wells in empty shelves
-listen-he said- the shelves are empty
the are no books in broken hearts
there are no books on broken shelves
and
there are no canes
to support
this broken
broken
piece
of what once might have been
a VERY
tasty
bread
