cartology

skin
carries the geography of significance, love & nature
to compare, define & ascend
how to you erase the trail of a touch 
the cut of the movement of realization
the tracks of the spark & the knowing
... a path, a mark, a line, a pull--a scar
how is it that the grey, snow & bite of winter make it deeper
still & dry
there is an ache for the melt & a return of warm winds
to round the edges, shift the foundation
draw the map
trace the contours of connection with a sharp pencil of redwood
shade with pearl
color the valleys in myrtle & emerald
consider the water & outline it's phenomenology in blue
leave space
acknowledge the groove
