Not Half-Not Whole

Where would the leaf be
  without the branch

The cowboy drifting
  without the ranch

Where would the wave be
  without the sea

Its motion unformed,
  adrift unseen

Where would a song be
  without a voice

A silent concert,
  a barren choice

And where would you be
  without your soul

Condemned to matter,
  not half-not whole

(Villanova Pennsylvania: January, 2018)
