in the wind
seafarers seeking
the greatest,
lightest burden of them all,
the spice, cocoa,
paint and dye,
the import/export—
of color, comfort,
connection,
and risk—
soaring like a fuchsia
bird
in an infinite,
indigo sky
beckoning,
beckoning
us to come along,
unanchored
to gather up our
castaway hearts
and leave our
shipwrecked shores
behind
