this is how we get across—
the days
when pink is a necessity
we meet for lunch and Susan’s taking pictures—
people celebrate . . .
what we don’t understand—
And make harbors safe
for smallest, delicate and evanescent thoughts—
we offer rest to friends. 
our pictures travel back and forth
in boats of willow wands
as we prepare what we will gather, what we’ll weave
to get ourselves across.
