seat of the soul

when annihilation changes
the equation and unnumbered
pinion feathers no longer
uplift the soul but
pierce the heart
and set it
adrift in
a foreign
body as joy
melts in
the mouth
of grief
and the future
thins into trans-
parency invisibil-
ity disappear-
ing into an endless
inescapable present
a wheel that spins and
spins until everything looks
the same until there is no refuge
for a refugee until there is
no exit except the last
exit until the beam
shifts and the
calculation
corrects
itself
and
some
one
some
where is
lost.
