The Canoe
On the canoe
Toes on the canoe
My heart and mind on you.
I hushed us to hear
Lily pads and strands of lake goo
Rush under the boat
Thinking it was bugs
Whispering to us.
No, the water has secrets
and we are reflected in it
As the sun swims to the bottom in
Tunnels made of light.
You say it's beautiful how they move
and I echo.
You are beautiful.
pushing off dead trees with oars
floating freely, of course
I'll put on your sunscreen.
You splashed me and I shook the canoe
My shorts and the towel got wet too
the dragonflies hum as they shimmer sky blue
Through polarized shades I gaze at you.
