Jorge Sánchez: The Canoeist Loses His Oar

With the air so still it seems asleep, what
 equation moves the boat upon the water,
 heavy as it is with me? The lake takes
 nothing it is not given, and so the boat
 scuds further from the grassy shore.

The eddies and curls of currents made by fish
 and the tilting, spinning earth are the true captains
 now, the canoe enslaved to their minute forces.
 I lean back and look up. Clouds
 like a raincoat. Sky like a message home.
