passage

edward brian seago fishing boats - honfleur

we sail

through the each of us

the despite and the otherness.

cause brings small effect

and so we stay -

waking each morning

to the shallow indents

left in each other's pillows.

time washes over us

callow and carefree

as driftwood

carried here and there -

each wave a measure of our becoming

and our leaving behind.

you and i

and the boat of we

between us
