Traveler

Your body was once my atlas

The lines of our hands

Play the latitudes and longitudes

Across the Seven Seas of Sheets

 

The compass between your ventricles

Was once the brightest star

An eternal celestial sphere

In my constellation

 

Lover, be other worldly

Let your limbs run free

Like the roots of the Angsana tree

Down, deep and dark.
