I am carved out of a tree,
a wooden heart
splintered by my ancestry.
I’m rotting lumber
trying to make a name
for myself despite
my waterlogged existence.
I am carved out of the ocean,
a sinking ship
anchored by my heritage.
Though I’m tied to the shore,
I dream of sailboats
navigating the waves
in the wind’s direction.
