Canoe

we put the canoe in the river, like glass sun high and hot a perfect Midwest day push off, catching our rhythm harmonizing the oars smooth teamwork not our first time we laugh and talk just kicking back reconnecting, remembering it’s been a long time we know what’s ahead white water and rocks and our favorite part, the drop from the falls we work as a team maneuvering together expert synchronicity through the treacherous water this perfect day the thrill of the danger this time we share a new memory back at the shore we load the canoe you look at me and smile an amazing afternoon
