Journey

When lead touches paper
One hand gains passage
To an impossible form of the impossible.
The village the hand must cross
Consists of long empty roads
Slowly filling with people.
But when the lead breaks
The strong connection is lost
Until the thoughts reinvent themselves
And the journey resumes.
