seeking

J. A. OVERTON


My body
 Is the landscape
 Over which
 You wish to roam
 Explore
 Discover
 New territory
 To claim for your own
I am no longer an easy surrender
Conquistador
 Adventurer
 Be tender
 In your approach
 And I may let you enjoy
For too many
 Would-be conquerors
 If they cannot possess
 Will seek instead
 To destroy
