Wind
You couldn't carry me from here.
My feet are securely anchored
to the most voluptuous and steady boat
you'll ever know,
my mind a captain
with no appetite for fear.
My heart is in the cabin,
making love with the idea
that this voyage will never end,
and my soul is in the water,
alone, swimming far away
from you and my boat,
considering only the language
of shifting waters and where to next.
