Eve on Columbia
Virginia Salter

bowl filled with idle sailboats
rests beside mighty Columbia
flooded in week-day blues

week-end jet sets
members of the working class
leave them moored

until they can slip in
slip out, sail away
into fluid dreams

on breezes
that shall surely return
and bring them ‘round

This reminded me of sitting overlooking the banks of Leschi dreaming of sailing away into the ebbing tide. Marvelous imagery.

Makes me think of the painting, "Breezing Up". Well done. Bob

Cool observations here!
