Dreaming

red kayak slices forward
silent power strokes
wrists in rhythm
breathing catches the tune
deep
slow
cleansing
if I close my eyes
I am there
lick cracked salty lips
squint off the ocean’s glare
deep
slow
cleansing
if there is a place called heaven
it must have a red kayak
an ocean of islands
Strawberry
The Goslings
Eagle Bear
Seal
names that represent
life
not destroyed
by humanity
yet.
