cartography

the landscape that is you is open,
map-like, as I patiently look for
landmarks and safe landings,
opening it up behind
my eyes

armed with these memories of us
I will chart a course back to you,
tracing again the paths I once
traced with my
tongue

love is not a good enough excuse
this time I will not return for
love alone; but to steal
again the heart that
you stole
