Signposts at the crossroads point in all directions
like skeletal fingers
like ghosts moving across a tundra of white
like thin skin that you see through
like rice paper held against the sun
like your hand that shows veins that run like tributaries
into the delta on your metacarpus
flecked with freckles
where small hairs stand on end.
