Beautiful poem and beautiful meditation on it. It sent me back to "blessing the boats" by Clifton (https://poets.org/poem/blessing-boats). The water, the nodding, so powerfully evoke deep time and being held by it all. Thank you, as always.
"And now a whole world has opened up, a whole wealth of description made possible that connects and re-connects and energizes our relationship to the world."
An empty boat consoled by the tide. Astonishing. Heartening. Like the little Mars rover but with consolation.
Traveling from this ocean planet to Mars and back through poetry.
Thank you so much for introducing me to Ben Purkert's writing.
