boat
the current calls
will you carry me
unfurl your sail
then let us drift together
beneath the sun
the lazy breeze
knows me well
and to where I’m bound
~
boat
raise a little wake
for me
that I might feel the salt
and spray
as though we sail
for pleasure
my friend the breeze
has riffled my shirt
and you
are steadfast
~
boat
let’s circle once
this island
the surf
broken on a shoal
the harbor
then tell the breeze
that I am ready
to ride the current
and her sweet luff
home
~
