Poetic enough for you?

Your nib
Gently tracing the crevasses
Outlining the landscape
The peaks and valleys
Hillsides
And tiny roads
That make up
The map of my body
Knowing the geography in such a way
That only a local would
Not a tourist or a traveler
But someone who has spent time
Considerable time
With their hands, blood and bones
Turning
And
Pressing
The land...

If you could cover me in ink
In such a way as this
...would you.
