She gave me
the map of

her
self.

It was exact &
up to the moment

but changed
as we moved

through the landscape
of the future.

Now with heartbreak
it is

out of date with
a section missing.


Where we should meet
is a crease

so worn and torn
we can see right through

to the reality
of defeat.

I look to the stars
for guidance

to orientate me
through all the hate

but it is too late
the map

no longer
exist.
