six legs, skimming cold reflections
ripples multiply, collide
six legs interlocking ankles
middleman wins affection
six legs testing the deep
see how long they live frozen
its too hard
for six legs straining
relaxing for a time..
two fall off the edge
the other two dive
and the middleman, she
picks herself up
walks off the shoreline.

I don't know rowing, but this calls to mind a morning practice on calm, cold waters. Whatever the explanation, it's a pleasant read. Thanks

i'm not sure what it means, but it strikes me as rather minimalist and elegant. it evokes a sense of cool gray in my mind, if that makes any sense.. it seems melancholy and quiet.
