I unfold the map,
I am here; but I am nowhere
upon this paper. These lines
Oh my life!
I am the NYC
tunnel system, the
transcontinental railroad,
red, blue, and yellow weave,
a tangled mess of unadulterated
fumbling, guesswork
maybe instinct,
I’ve made it this far, and
come to think
I love the big sky, the wild
roar of desperation, tempered
by a sit down meal
leaned against an oven,
ladders to get to my bedroom
No rest, I’ll run some more,
a habitual table tipper,
nighttime rears her shoulders –
I stand on them, thumb
the stars, the pages
of my book;
I hope some god finds me worthy
of an afternoon read someday.

You are free to share and/or reblog any of my poems as long as I am credited. 🙂 But if you are asking whether I’d like to join the platform as a featured writer/content creator I must pass on that right now. My life has been a bit busy.
Thank you for your interest in my writing! I’m always happy to hear when a piece resonates with someone. 😀
We don’t reblog. Thank you.
No worries 🙂
