Estuary

Hanging on my wall
the map we used to lean against
on the floor mattress at Huron View
bodies of water we were
pressed against edges of
MichiganSuperiorStClairHuronErie
Eerie
how we were bodies of water,too
but mobile
traversed
across bridges to bays an
estuary
sounds like nest but
not so much like home
although you are
but now- flowing backwards from the mouth to the source
we travel gaily with this weight
we carry with us all
canteens of fresh water gasping for air
and coming out on the surface filled with
new images
what we look like underwater
what you look like beside it
how we feel
when we are
home.
