Familiar Land
My landscape is ever changing.
New curves and
Depressions
Always forming.
My hands are cartographers.
They began their journey at fifteen,
Mapping out the hills,
The mountains forming
Atop my chest.
The rocky surface of bones in
Hips
Hands
Neck.
They discovered the valley between my thighs.
Journeying to find new landmarks and
Hidden treasures.
At nineteen they continue the trek.
My hands scale the new surface.
Mapping out the changes
They cross oceans of
Skin stretched from wars with
Alien hands that ripped
And tore
And broke down my landscape
Hands that left
Rivers of scars from the
Attacks
Rolling hills of muscle from
Repair
Seeking to mend the hurt
My hands carry on through the
Trauma
No matter what they find they take it in
Study it carefully
Going over the past and
Understanding
Forgiving
Healing
Striving to make foreign land
Familiar.
