Rowing Lessons

Today I’m out on the river,

teaching my boys

how to plant

and pull, to work

the oars deep, what

my father taught me,

the simple mechanics

of it all: how each oar

is a wing, each

stroke a beat. Then

pass them to my sons,

and off we go,

gliding, both boys

side by side, shoulder

to shoulder.

And so it goes on, oar

and oarlock, this keeping

the river moving.
