Boats Look Different | #CapturedInWords


You make me want to polish furniture
Although dust never slighted me 
Buffering the smears away 
A shine growing brighter
With each careful touch


Where’s there’s detail 
I’m inspired in its capture 
Withdrawing it to betray
How I’ve wrought you 
In your own reflection


Boats look different to me now 
They could go somewhere
With you and me at the helm 
Sailing plainly 
To a destination for the two of us
