Poetry Day Ireland/2021!

 Poetry Day Ireland/2021!
New Directions: Maps and Journeys.

I have a number of poems on the theme above but just the mood I'm in I went for this one!

Discovery

Damn these maps
Their safe harbours
This watch for yesterday
Quartered and halved
As the wind dictates
All talk these arguments
They plot
Like hungry ghosts
They pitch and roll
Their contradictions
Till they fall
Off the Earth.

They will lose themselves
Here be dragons.
