a face

a mirrored surface of scratched lines
of a face full of time lines super-
imposed one on another

a dull mirrored surface of
scratched lines of a face
full of pale time lines
superimposed one on
another in a cartography
of what went wrong, of what went right

unlike the potential of a hand
cartography to be interpreted, no,

a cartography of what was tried
abandoned started again anew
a life cartography
