FOLDED AND MUTILATED
Sergio Ortiz
I am what is left
of his life
the black map
describing his voyage
of deep descent into himself
I am the map
of a wet dreary town…
exchanging
secrets in whispers
lilies bend beneath our bodies
you grasp my hand
steer it to a place
beyond maps…
I am scared of the shock of arrival
the raw landscape
if my life were a map
it would be one of a man
in the snow…
picking mushrooms
at the edge of dread
