The Pirate's Heart
Splashing over capsized logs
with sails made out of leaves:
enduring hidden chuckles, puzzled eyes.

She endures the windless days,
the current of the water that only pulls you downward
or leaves her banked on muddy shores.

She floats adrift, seeing land all around her,
but she'll remain on her heart as she sinks:
the courage of a pirate
in a world without the sea.
