By Philip Kuepper

I row the depths.
I row spiraling toward my soul.
I row within
before I can row out of myself.
I must become one
before I can become one.
I row through myself
to find path
on the ever-shifting water.
To row a straight path zigzags
on ever-shifting water
rows me to the finish
of the race of life.
