Destination

Cut and open
there are layers of me
exposed and bleeding
wanting someone
to peel me back
and feel inside.

Beyond the wounds
the purple place
where my heart beats.

Surface highs and lows
are maps and journeys, tracks
weathered and worn
leading in the same direction.

Before me are the marks
of countless generations
stepping towards
this one destination.
