My Body As Landscape

Raging rivers of hurt
 
                                                           Ending in
 
Cascading waterfalls of sorrow
 
                                                                 That crash into
 
A deep, dark lake of responsibilities tossed aside
 
                                                                                                  Behind which lies
 
An entire plain of barren loneliness
 
                                                                        Encompassed by
 
A swamp that drowns out hope
 
                                                               Over which broods
 
The storming thunderclouds of regret
 
         Words unsaid
 
         Words unthinkingly said
 
When the well of tears
 
Dries up and not a single drop remains
 
When the forest of dreams
 
Is torn to shreds
 
And the starry sky of happiness
 
Blinks into nothingness
 
                                             One by one
 
Then, and only then, shall one be able to describe
 
A body as landscape
 
                                        My body as landscape.
