This image is called Paper Boats. It’s part of my Green Girl images done in collaboration with poet Mary Jo Amani for her book Green Girl Weaving. It goes with the following poem:
Spring
sprung determined and confident
in the hands of my grandson, nine years old,
bending over paper boats lined with plastic tape,
coloring them, placing them
ever so carefully
in the river so they won’t tip.
One boat for the mother who learned to listen,
one for my husband who never left,
who rebuilds our home with the sand of memories,
three for my children,
and one for green girl with her curves
of flickering light.
The card will come with the poem it is based on printed on the back, and will be blank inside waiting for your message.
