13.

the Kon-Tiki set sail

to tame the south pacific and

we are seated at a table in

a same silence, proving
points about distance and
what floats (your eyes, near yellow 

shining stories) below the waves

mountains rise, great
submerged valleys cradle
beautiful darkness

Thor Heyerdahl, a sextant

hung from his red-brown neck

starts laughing and reminds

us, it’s a conversation

so say something
