Somewhere in the Broughton Archipelago

afloat on calm
water     paddling
alone in a
boat
going nowhere
slowly
    dipping
      effortlessly
on the sea
in summer   out
past the
     rocks
through the
pass
  into the
ether  away
from the shore's
scrubby pines
   wanting
nothing
    unaware
 of the Orca
     following
me
    under
into the deep.
