Detour


I saw you
Naked
Your scars
Your festering wounds
Your whites, blacks, reds and blues
The mountains and the valleys
Your seas and your skies.

I saw you
Inside
Goo and stone
Placid lakes and stormy oceans
The open rafters, the boarded doors.

I touched you
Soft and hard
Your chords, your nerves
Your smoothness, your bumps.

I smelt
The horrors and the victories
Your sweat and your blood.

And I heard
The screams, the moans
Gasps and your groans
Through your fingers and your eyes
I heard a jarring melody.

I sneaked in
To your hollows and your brimming cups
The length and breadth
I navigated without  a map.

And I left your overpopulated town
With its forced company
And its unbecoming sanctity
Dissappeared into the dark
Of grey territories.

Just another road sign
A diversion from the highway
To the concrete consolation of the grinding gravel
From your marshland carnival.

And left behind half a mind.
The rest comes easy.
