I made it up to the land's end,

but now begins the sea.

You have brought a rowing boat from the far end

but how do I trust you and the sea?

This cumbersome dress, this hat that is waiting to fly with the wind

and the hardest thing, how do I step into the boat?

I can neither swim nor float.

This. is no picnic my dear is no picnic my dear

I was better off in my study.

 Far from the boat I row

I see the tide ebbing.

Agitated, the sea is quiet.

I am already there

on the horizon. Dots of white sails

furled with wind

and the waves have stopped breaking on the rocks..

I will reach there, and by then

I will have the grains of sand

and the taste of salt

sticking on me

bruising, healing

all at once.
