Not in the right place—
No, not quite.
It may be a surprise,
or I knew all along
but just rode the wave
until the shore I hit
was not my destination.
Notes and quotes, collected by Cheri Lucas Rowlands
Not in the right place—
No, not quite.
It may be a surprise,
or I knew all along
but just rode the wave
until the shore I hit
was not my destination.
Now comes the hard part: Make a home in the mistaken destination, or swim back out and try again? Either way, something tells me the poet will land on her feet.
Beautifully written, Cheri.
