Started this when I read a short story by Borges where I loved the line, 'he was seeking a soul worthy of taking its place in the universe'. Now this poem does not build upon any of the ideas of said story but borrows a beautiful line which I'll credit both Borges and the translator (I forgot who) for.
This is one of my few direct and simple to digest poems. Hope y'all like it.

It's beautiful. :)
I love how you describe action in order for the reader to infer the emotion themselves. I know that's not revolutionary, but I never recognized it this clearly. I will definitely experiment with that.
Thank you for that insight.
