Connections

 

It’s easy with a map,

Your finger tracing

From city to town

To city,

Past mountains and

And rivers and lakes,

Past sorrow and happiness

Funerals and weddings,

Lovers in lanes and

Meadows,

To places where your

Thoughts and eyes

Take you,

The mystic river

Meanders in a similar way,

And then some

Just think and they

Are there,

A nose in your navel,

A tongue

Reaching, stretching,

Straining

Like a traveller lost

In the desert.
