The wind laughs at you,
flicking and passing on to something more interesting.
I step out feeling the light wood bobbing off
already leaving
the fluid touch of foot against the seat board.
The tiny boat slips away as I step
onto the sand.
No, I am not thinking about that other thing.
I have learned that is not a good place to go.
It is too much like stepping into the storm
that growls around my house
too much the chill in the air that signals that
all things may not be as safe as they
seem to be.
