poetry thursday: streets I have known


unfolding an old map

carefully unfolding the way back
to places of my past heart
fingertip tracing the path
across the soft fraying at the folds
touching each turn
coming back home









click on the map to take a closer look at life's paths

What a very novel idea. A map to show how many streets you may or my not know. L like it.
