Navigation

I want to draw you a map
like the one I found in my textbook,
land masses lonely in pale oceans,
colored arrows that designate
troop movements, shipping lines, exploration.
I will show you my islands and oceans,
the arrows will lead you,
they will keep you from the cliffs
and quicksand,
keep you safe from me.

the ending caught me off-guard
(not in a bad way),
i was expecting the opposite.
