"Nothing has changed.
Except the run of rivers,
The shapes of forests, shores, deserts, and glaciers.
The little soul roams among those landscapes,
Disappears, returns, draws near, moves away,
Evasive and a stranger to itself,
now sure, now uncertain of its own existence,
whereas the body is and is and is
and has nowhere to go."
"Tortures"
by the Polish poet Wislawa Szymborska,
writing on the body in pain.
