We came upon the overturned boat
\nengulfed in catbrier, timbers rotting,
\nfar from any body of water.<\/p>\n
How had we missed it?<\/p>\n
Hardly any blue
\nleft on the hull.<\/p>\n
You were leaving me,
\nI was leaving you,
\nbut neither of us had so declared.<\/p>\n
One thing we always did well
\nwas walk those trails.<\/p>\n
That boat had been sea-worthy,
\ntook every pitch and roll.<\/p>\n
Didn\u2019t you reach for my hand?
\nMaybe I\u2019m imagining.<\/p>\n
Love had been complicated, then simple,
\nthen gone. Now it is everywhere.<\/p>\n
We didn\u2019t try to get close
\nor touch it. We understood
\nit was where it belonged.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
