I built a boat, and called her Sadie.
She ran down my arm
like rainwater, except all at once
She said that she could taste the ocean's mists already
and that I needed to shake the sand from my ears.

I set her straight with twigs and things
built her down by the water,
gently, so as not to tip any water over the edges
I blew a little wind into her perfect sails

and watched her float away.

Like a call for freedom! This is wonderful, dear Paul.

"To blow wind into someone's sails" is a very generous gift of love I would say, though you call it foolishness ...

Enjoyed it!

Love,
Margopargo

fanksh margopargolargofargo!

Glad you enjoyed it. A generous gift it is, indeed. Foolishness, it also is.

I love my dog, and my truck. It's that simple, really.
