Will Be Away From Work

Will be away from work

imagine me at sea

while you are rafting

your message to me

I will hold the print

out in the wind

white sheet in the other hand

crinkles drafting

my reply to ye

the wave’s a cradle

to my sinking

where you need a paddle

I am sailing

on the waters of emotion

ocean’s lotion

waving
