My Compass Poem by Jeffrey SpahrSummers

My Compass

Rating: ★5.0


lies broken on the floor like a wine glass shattered tossed
into the fireplace as if in celebration of something I cannot
comprehend the cold needle is stuck due west north west
not magnetic north where I want to explore the wilderness
