The Sealed Wedge

Sit here and watch the dust for a while, $N; it never sits still, and neither should you get too comfortable. This leaf was a single word once, a tablet the Book used to press one exact meaning into every reader who touched it. The Binders feared a word that strong more than any whole chapter, so they sealed it shut before they even cut it loose, wedge marks folded in on themselves so the word could never be pressed out again. When it ran aground here, the wind kept trying anyway, spinning devils that write half the word and lose it, gully after gully, forever almost saying it. The Glossator found the Sealed Wedge and could not open it either. What they left behind is not the word. It is a question: is a meaning still a meaning if it can never be read again.
