In a craft
A neglected rowing boat
On a tributary
A good way from the sea
He gives his arm
Steadies her uneasy step
From the shallow water
To climb aboard
Laying back
Taking time
Choosing to go nowhere
With this he is by her side
Twenty-five years later
A photograph
Reeds, and grasses
Grow out of salted water
He is in contemplation
She is placed elsewhere
Neglected, and then
Brought into recovery
