THE OLD BOAT…
(from Iulia Carchelan’s painting ‘Old Boat’…)
No turmoil to spoil or foil
The old boat’s progress
As it edges through turquoise,

And the cherry redness
Evident in its promise of toil…
No crash or lash to dash
The ocean black with stress,
For it lures in tranquil teal,
The sky alternating
Pink and buff to reveal
Wistful gulls, fearless
In their scavenging, rash…
