sail me,o boatman
into the middle of the river
for the midstream
is my destination
have any of you
harboured in the comfort of the shore
heard sometimes, somewhere
that paper boats find no moorings,no shores
sail me ,o boatman
to the place where
the two shores meet
midstream
battered shores cleaved
from the river banks
float in the stream-
the stilts and the supports
flotsams of life all
bob along my sail
but will I find
a wind in my sail
when I'm midstream
a support perhaps?
