Monday Poem: Circumnavigation

Circumnavigation

Can your small room take the place
of a whole wide world?

Can you walk the arid deserts
of this threadbare carpet?

Can you explore the jungles
of all these dense memories,

then climb the highest peaks
of this forgotten furniture?

Can you search out beyond the horizon
of these so solid walls

and see far enough to glimpse
the life you know you should have lived?
