Rafts
You said
Carry me with you
As you slide into the water
And if you need to
Lay your body on me
Don’t be afraid to
Bury your hands in my rough skin
Fall asleep on my straw belly
As you climb the opposite shore
Don’t carry me with you
Nor tie me
With a Clove Hitch or Bowline
Instead, let me stay
Among the cattails
To lie waiting for
Another like you
I looked back
Perched safely atop the ridge
I watched the waters rise
Fists clenched
I watched you float away
