the river, like glass
sun high and hot
a perfect Midwest day
push off, catching our rhythm
harmonizing the oars
smooth teamwork
not our first time
we laugh and talk
just kicking back
reconnecting, remembering
it’s been a long time
we know what’s ahead
white water and rocks
and our favorite part,
the drop from the falls
we work as a team
maneuvering together
expert synchronicity
through the treacherous water
this perfect day
the thrill of the danger
this time we share
a new memory
back at the shore
we load the canoe
you look at me and smile
an amazing afternoon
