Guarding souls

 guarding library of souls
 prone as they are
 to awake, expand 
 fly in air
  
 it takes a machine’s
 soulless agility
 to trap, threat
 impair mobility
  
 precision of response
 non-negotiable
 soulful uncertainty
 can turn tables
  
 alert searchlights
 guard darkness
 investigating rays
 pale in its brightness
