NOTHING'S OUT OF BOUNDS

Spurred as they are 
by spectra 
past our kenning, 

hollow bodies aimed 
by the thrumming 
ultraviolet,

migrating birds 
have no feeling 
for our borders—

just as 
that sadness
which arises absurdly 

and flits among us 
damned to tread cement 
and dirt and grass

will alight and persist
long past its 
advantage, having no sense 

of terminus—
and no respect 
for facts.
