Cabin with Porthole

 Transplanted fan,a breeze comes at will.We float inside four distinct yellow skieswith an aquarium rigged for a portal.On a hinge,we may list for a week to the east,then to the west.Whenever I call for them,storms arrive. Room service.Little clever captain,you tip the floor uneven.The paperwhites for our bon voyage,In winter, evergreens. Parcels neatlyaddressed, ready for the post office,whenever we pull into port.Perhaps, you’ll startle a bird outside,and the shore will rise on the horizon,a jagged distant green.When there’s an orange on the pillow,we can think of home and sigh,but only for a moment. ____Sarah Ann Winn lives in Fairfax Virginia.
