« Did You See Her? // My 1500th Poem »
She Is A Journey
Posted on March 3rd, 2007 by Shewolf
She is a journey
her sunken valleys
moundy hills
veiny rivers
amniotic seas
teary lakes
she has been traveled well
her foreign countries
city dressings
skirted villages
domed chapels
worshipped at
she has led strangers
up her paths,
stopped invasions
of private homes
barred door
to her vestry
she has invited friends
to come up buckled and creased
old skin sidewalk
for chance visits
she has been mapped
by love’s fingers
shaped by madmen’s hands
surgically shifted
by rusty scalpels
she is her own adventure
routes, well-traced,
are carved in the canyons of her heart
