ON WATER


A slight mistake; instead of a man
A lead statue of a man was sent.
It was late and there were no stars
Available for money (love? We'd some
But not much and no intent of spending it
To purchase starlight.) We thought
We remembered the way so that darkness
And a few drinks would make no difference.
It is a handsome statue though the features
Are slightly blurred. It cannot walk on water
That it stays afloat at all, vulnerable and flailing,
Is actually a sort of miracle
