Poem of the Week
Boats at Gocek
Carole Barley


There were pirates here;
all that glittered
and feather-flash glimpses.

Some boats made no sound;
if you reached out they could be
almost within grasp.
Their sails and the sea foam
impossibly white.

White like ghosts;
slow motion.

People learned to fly
in sapphire waters,
sang little bits
of the songs they knew.
In smoky dusk, the air
became sleepy with flowers.
Gold changed hands.

All the treasure
lies underwater.
The angles of the sun
refract and distort
to all but the most
casual observer.

Lean too far
and the boat tips.
