Changing Pastures, Rosa Bonheur, 1863
Cool early summer afternoon on the
channel, brisk wind not ideal for keeping a flock of thirty calm in a rocking
boat. Between bleats of packed lambs and cries of kittiwakes nesting on chalky
cliffs, my ears throb. The stink of sour ale wafts from the rowing mate, mixed
with the gamy musk of hot, wet wool coats, queasies my stomach.
I take shallow breaths, concentrate on
sun silvering blue-green water in the distance, not the sharp peaks of dizzying
waves alongside us. Iridescent moss mantles the valleys. I imagine the crimson
clover, ox-eye daisy, and buttercup I saw when last visiting with my love,
Elise.
The sun soothes my arms, back, neck,
matches the warmth of the ewe’s rhythmic heave against my shins.
My arms ease into the cadence of tandem
oaring. The white-haired sheepherder at the bow launches into a rousing sea
shanty about a drunken sailor. My oarsman groans. When I inhale to join the
song, I taste the water’s whiff—elemental, briny-sweet, wild.

A poem published in Thimble Literary Magazine, inspired by Georgia O’Keeffe’s painting “At the Rodeo, New Mexico,” 1919.

I'd never been to one, but he'd done that kind of racing back in the day.
