nicole reynolds - poems


mistakes are maps


the sun dried the desert and the tomatoes
we made our first pint of maple syrup
i don't think i will have a mind after i die
but the thoughts my mind thinks of you
could make mountains melt to the ground
and sink like sludge
and the sun burn out the light bulbs
and the ocean do a dance
tsunamis and showers
our lives are full of mistakes
but mistakes are maps
