What to call the soul, when it is only
an empty space in flesh
Explosion, scattering of nightly birds?
In what night is the spirit simply
air stirred up by eagles?

Soul:
Night where the errant light of a star
will be the solar light
And will carve out the night with sparks.
Bodies will reflect the night, the moonlight
-The spirit will be simply darkness
Rotation into the space and time of stars
Infinite daybreak of light pierced with
black sparks

What to call a star, when it is only
an empty space in the night
Empty space carved out by the bodies of birds?
The night:
In what night is it only a star,
A black and errant light?

The solar light of a star will carve out
the night
And explode the emptiness of nocturnal lights
The spirit will simply be a wind stirred up by stars
The black dawn of the night
