"My Body Harmonic" (An original poem inspired by “The Girl and the Pendulum”)

A poem describing Cassandra's thoughts as she stares at the swinging pendulum during her wait for Cattrell to visit.

My Body Harmonic

Sound, it plays my body rhythmic --

Tones reveal my soul.
Vibrations weave
the song of life
that meters present
or future.

Oscillations in
my fourth harmonic
lead to joyous rhapsody.
And, fear
the dirge
a lifeless plunge
cured by null
but timpani.

If love is carried
over waves,
and should the people
gather close --
The music of
my lifetime, I hope
shall sing a song,
a soul.

How can a man who searches for missing women find lost artificial intelligence? I welcome feedback on this story about a man and his difficult case in a post-war, post collapse world.
