I drew a map
on your body
and became lost

I got lost today
Wrong direction
Maps led me astray
Nothing familiar
Sounds, Smells, Sights so strange
I had my hat on
Sunglasses too
So lost
and I never got out of the house

Mapped a way

to restart with secret labels
hidden beneath smouldering rocks
where I could stumble over
if at the end
Then the rain fell and my map washed a way
Now every day
I imagine where I would be
if I had not started

My mother was the greatest magician

I never got to see
Disappearing soon after my birth
Leaving me with troubled thoughts
vivid imagination
searching soul
destined to always be lost
She left me no message
no forwarding address
no treasure map at the end of the road
I looked for her
She didn’t look for me
So now at age 71
I will stop looking on social media
for her
and delete my hashtag

Your body

Your body
a treasure map
riches full
lifetime
pleasure
