We lie that I am here to learn
how to splice rope,but we both know -
in dread of slipping my moorings,
of falling away from the world,
I’m here to learn neither line nor lash.
Old friend, you tell me to wait a half hour,
to watch the seasons flit across the lake.

Nearing the edge
with neither hex nor hymn
to guard you,
he sprints past,
ghost boy,
there are night birds too,
and when the wind builds a lullaby
his shadow stops
suddenly to take your hand,
oh gentle child,
to guide you through.

And as I wave them off,
Quiet comes to stand
beside me.
..
The cheerful toot-toot on the
horn as they drive under the
arch and back into the world
reminds me that all that occupies
the space between me
and loneliness is quiet.
