Divination
I torment our maps
with these ballistic
pendulums. I uncover
something new
with every undulation.
With a haste
we can’t be sure of,
we are running away
from our reflections. We
strain our destinations.
All the exits
will be swept away
by a surge of safer choices.
On this map, beginnings
and endings converge
in disappearing topographies.
It is strange
to spit up a home.
