Poem 3

Have you ever tried reading a map,
Not just looking at it,
I mean really reading the contours of our Mother’s face,
A map is just a portrait of possibility,
A map is a postcard painfully written and delivered late,
The desire to move,
As if my shoes had minds of their own,
Her hand keeps me steady.
