On that houseboat

 




Sure it’s a houseboat

With amenities

Cleanup

Cover with awnings

Games tables

Kitchen and treats shelved.



But…it is being on

The waters just the same

Inviting shorelines

Of colour and mystery

heckling gulls aloft

the mirrored duplicate.

Little kids stepping delicately

Over stony shallow playground

Giggling with push and splash.



delightful ripples

From that other element.

Three quarters of

Our homing sphere

Blue and wet.

Bracing yet.
