Her Paper Boats



She folded paper boats with ease
Creases pinched crisp with a sting
Nurturing the counterfeit frame
Set a goliath for guppy waters

But on a current of teeth?

Feeble as the hands bent to pretend the honest sail
Soak and fail this print of mush in the vast
Then send another boat sinking
Then another boat sinking

These are the passages she folded so free
