[how much of the map]

how much of the map could be labeled terraincognita how much        unknown        invisible to others how much of myself    could I shake off abandon               those undiscovered places [I barely know]        exist though the map is not the territory how I am drawn        to leave behind the pattern for the path        for a minute an hour        for one whole day I'd be like a Wintu               describing the body using cardinal directions he touches me on the west arm the river is to the east when we return          his east arm circles around me        and the river stays to the west
