Neroli
I am coming across a wet slaw of grass
moving toward a new perfect lake.
The skiff crosses without ripples
I have stepped off the shore of possibility
of cool moisture,
aware of the idea of the boat's position in the water
and that liquid displaced and tightly wrapped around.
I am aware of the boat's movement, rolling down the slope of
water, dragging the bottom up and over thinking the sounds
of wood
moving over gravel
pebbles pressing into sand
pressing up and into the wood of the boat.
Look up and
feel the moisture against your face.
