there was an island of padres
like the brown fur of hounds
they were matted in the sun waters
forgiving the sins of the sky

we were the heathen boats
rubbing our ends together there
at their wooden windows
our anchors were discarded

we drifted where we dreamed
and wore our splinter sides smooth
they moaned songs of our urges
and the storms we rode oarless

they made crosses from violets
and draped our bows when we slept
they blessed us and cursed us
then were quiet in their piety

but we tempted them with our dawns

Oh, how deeply these words speak to me right now, dear D.! oarless ... yet somehow divinely guided we always arrive where we are meant to arrive.

You are the Poet!

Love,
