Sounds of the world turning

I am lost in a place unimagined by nature,
No co-ordinates exist by which to plot path,
No distinguishing features to lend their bearing,
No stars in the sky by which to guide.
Time is infinite and I become endless
Further receding, into the past.

She is passing
Travelling still faster,
The distant point lost
To the curve of the earth.

Tears respond in number
Refuse to be restrained,
Through skin they seep
Deep into bone;

No longer porous,
But heavy and slow.

I am the number that did not balance,
That spoilt the equation upon the page.
I had no value and couldn’t be carried,
I am the number you simply erased.
