The Slow Drift

The slow drift, in this
variable wind, from
no apparent direction,
is like our love.

the curious willingness
to continue, in this
harbour quite calm,
with un-named boats.

that should take
us somewhere, yet don't,
no captains, nor pirates,
no breeze measurable.

I walk the plank,
seeking a change,
but the blue is so calm,
I retreat backwards.
