Black Ink
February 8, 2014
Within me is a map.
distorted lines of longitude
and latitude,
Dozens of dim destinations,
an unnecessary burden.
As if
the overflowing of my words
resulted in the
bulging of my twisted rivers.
My raging wrath leading
to eruptions
under its once faultless surface.
It was
at one point
clear,
of all the landforms,
cities,
oceans
that were in every way impossible
to control
All
of the emotions
that have marked this map
were written
in pure
black ink.
