All of us in a boat.
Sitting there.
Our blood on the water.
Our reflections in the blood.
All of us looking.
The boat unmoving.
The water undisturbed.
No one talking.
Evening settling in.
A chill with the dimming.
This poem is inspired by Peter Doig's 'Figures in Red Boat'. It's a fantastic image which I purposely left out of the post to allow the poem achieve its own effect. However, if you’re not familiar with the painting, do a search and stay with it for a while; I think it is very thought-provoking.
