relief

i want to fall from
google earth images of the world
satellite-made squares
of flat and pixellated color:
there must be a ground here somewhere
a place to land
and make a crater,
and an atmosphere to cook in
well-done.

i'm tired of interactions
with a world made flat
and accessible
by computer screens.
there are mountains
sharp as needles
and broken valleys
crumbled
and the sea has its own
textured skin, hiding
its own textured depth.

the face of the world
and the face of me
are not two dimensional.

help me find
relief.
