mark this location unknown
in the unknown lies a city
who can determine density
one-too-many a dotted map
each plotted dot a black hole
holding a body and name
how are margins measured
do borders begin when the taxi is boarded
do they end on the breadth of no
what distance is there between missus and miscellaneous
we know of women woven into the city of the missing
by men who did not know boundaries
their families imagine their coordinates
light candles in the gallery at dusk
hoping they’ll be guided back
into the circumference of safe arms
