Selected Poems

Unworthy

In a cool breeze, she lies naked on her back
uncovered, her body is a painted tribal map.

Who am I to tag, new to me, places that
have already been given native names?

Valleys, rivers and hills are still unknown
after thirty plus years of wandered travel.

Lost, I am ashamed to once claim discovery.
as she turns her back on me, in her sleep.
