She called
we talked at length about the boat they’d sailed
around the world
for 20 years
no desire ever for such a thing
but yet what would it be like
to live your personal bliss
wake each day with enough color
paint the world
rosey
posey in a vase
atop the counter
in front of the warm loaf from the oven
big brush
sweep the grey
make the windows shine
time to sign off
time to wake her partner from bed
time to take him to the toilet
to remind him what day it is
who she is
