Rain taps the windshield, meter dark and cold Boat sits where the breakfast table used to hold Tarred seams drink the steam that climbs the yellow wall Brass oarlocks catch the light before the fall Kitchen rowboat guards the steam Sturdy as a downtown dream Kettle whistles, hull keeps watch Morning shifts at six o'clock Passenger once left a compass on the seat Now it spins slow where porridge boils and steams Driver knows the currents, reads the foam and grain Wood remembers water, knows the ghost of rain Kitchen rowboat guards the steam Sturdy as a downtown dream Kettle whistles, hull keeps watch Morning shifts at six o'clock Calendar flipped to a month that don't exist Boat don't care for schedules, tide or tryst Hammered dulcimer plays from the radio Oar rests dry, but ready for the tow Steam writes its name on window glass Each drop a passenger who couldn't last These hands held the wheel, now hold the grain Salt in the palm, salt in the rain Gas flame licks the kettle's copper belly Boat rocks gentle, keeps the rhythm ready Vinyl seat creaks when the driver leans Wood and water, both know what it means Kitchen rowboat guards the steam Sturdy as a downtown dream Kettle whistles, hull keeps watch Morning shifts at six o'clock Night dispatch calls but the line went dead Boat stays put where the tea leaves spread Meter reads zero, odometer froze Home is where the oak and ember glows Kitchen rowboat guards the steam Sturdy as a downtown dream Kettle whistles, hull keeps watch Morning shifts at six o'clock Kitchen rowboat guards the steam This harbor's where I'm meant to be Engine off. Kettle sings. Oak hull rests on linoleum.
