Traveler


I know where I have been. Lines which
crisscross my face lead from the Arch in
St. Louis across the Bridge at Sydney.

Don’t be afraid. It takes years to grow
weary from traveling among the briars.
Pick the berries where you find them.

Holes in my stockings mean I have left
a trail across the earth behind me, tiny
fibers of my being too small to follow.
