Into the Blue
paddling out
in a stylised freezer container
sustainable propulsion
for a fossil fuel by-product boat
he floats into blue tranquillity
watching the bottom slide by
as rocks weeds and shellfish
give way to the unfathomable
he navigates his speck of flotsam
into a world
where cormorants bathe
and stingrays bask in the sun
his cares
stranded on a sandy beach
their urgency diminishing
in a shrinking line of importance
paddling into blue
his thoughts ripple
like wind gusts
stirring but brief
internally focussed
waves rise like an epiphany
dragging him in
to an uncharted future
