NaPoWriMo / NaPoREADMo — Day 1 — Cartography I

I am short on time (surprise, surprise) and I am barely getting this up in time
so I will begin with a short poem, but one that is part of a longer cycle, the rest 
of which will follow. 


Cartography I




Because 
        words are ghosts
after the death of wonder
              and the end of awe
have stopped explaining
                and exploring
the beginning of fear.

Hear,

there, 

             be dragons.
