he
’s trekking
through
dreamscapes,
an
intrepid explorer cartographing
cities
of
self
.
gone
so
long
i
can
’t
conjure
his
face
when
he
’s
right
in
front
of
me
;
his
eyes
beam
across
their
new
discoveries
,
never
catching
me
in
their
grandiose
sweep.
how
often
i
’ve accused
him
of
this
desire
,
to
return
to
a
memory
of
us
no
longer
sovereign
state
,
when
i
’m
the
one
drawing
a
boundary
around
our
love
.
