The Map
The Map You visualize something left on my skin: Ghostly footprints of knots, claiming by rope, through modeling of cells and space. I begin to consider the implications… mappa mundi- these flesh echoes, like Pre-Columbians drew in tiny footprints to represent their jungle pathways- There’s a kind of poetic precision in that. Incas built relief maps of stone and clay. Mariners torque their sextons, measuring Altitudes of celestial objects- they call this sighting the object. With equal reverence, Like inking the scallops of boiling waves, I could transform that crow's feather into An unambiguous, yet fragile, quill pen and you could draw trembling, a Cartography of steppes, tundra feet, Towers and bridges and stone walls upon Curvilinear rivers, arching mountains, Dense groves, barren desert plateaus … Oh, yes, we’ll mark my very person – A heaving topography of this place of Joining “us” that we’ve compass spun, We’re it visiting together. And we’ll Simply record our memories in these Contour lines of come, blooming past Trails of sweat craving my canyons, A cut eroding the banks of my rivers- Craters, incisor-born, distinctly red- Lush bruises spreading from the mouth Of my rivers, and yes, you’ll draw My holy Jerusalem centre, your quill will trance my Europe to the West, as Africa sitting, grave silent, central And Asia will reach backwards, gently Tracing my fully explored circumference Damp delta basin - resembling Borneo mist Your eager Tropic of Capricorn tongue Orienteering, traipsing, meandering idyllic At last! Amongst so many tempting landmarks Meeting On The Turret Stairs by Frederick Burton |

GOOD LUCK!!!!! MT (knock em dead - metaphorically) I especially love the image and card, " if love is a game, it has to be the hardest game ever..." It's it the truth. And love hurts. You are lovely. Please take good care of YOU. Leaving you traces of love and happy thoughts.

Oral pleasures never sounded so hot, and so satisfying! Funny. You like it, he likes it. I'm ok with it. I feel it needs a little more umph. More of the layers of maps and cartography. Some research and subtle references only a professional might get, that will 'sing,' in this context. I woke up in the wee hours pondering. Silly MT MT
