what can i say but that
beauty is endless on the water-
no dirt, no back-stabbing,
you can’t touch me
but the wind gets right inside
to my womb
water water everywhere
we’re nowhere
because we can’t touch the land
it doesn’t matter what body it is
we’re all the same
swimming in one big pool
everybody’s juices mixing
blending, repelling and
working a way out
rub-a-dub-dub
four men in a tub
women
boys, girls and a dog
with 24’ to mingle
best friends, strangers
becoming lovers
loving because it’s about the best thing to do
in six days i haven’t been bored for one second
every spot i’ve sat has found me
putting me into its reality
each island is unique
and the people there
gather away from the cesspool
we have the magic of the gypsy lady on board
she sprinkled it from her fingertips
before we left Lasqueti
it has taken her half a lifetime
to get where she was headed
but now she too is friends
with the water
she told me i have a beautiful face
and kissed me
like the wind, her magic sings in me now
strengthening my womb
we are cruising the cosmos
in a Martin 24
to do the lunar swing
making wishes on the North Star
before returning to the day
when the galaxy is hidden from view
we reach places where time
has no meaning
love & the life of leisure
are the only options
no decisions to be made
except where is the end of the line?
nothing lasts forever
not people places moments
mountains or water
but the peace we are creating
that blows through the sails
has nothing better to do than mingle
laissez-faire
let it go and see what happens
chances are we’ll end up in the same place
but the ride will have been epic
there’s nothing to catch up with us out here-
you can’t touch me
the sun’s got me covered
Savory stars moonlight beach
teenagers with bomb fires
exploring drunk
wanting in, wanting out
Courtney wants to be me
i want to be the gypsy
we’re three of the same
goddess, mother, crone
it all comes back to the womb again
i’ve been doing so much floating
and when the trip is over
each moment will be etched into my body
the people i’ve met will
live in my cells
making me smile when i least expect it
the water is in my soul now
