With such grace their toes
grasp the gunnel as they make their way
from stern to bow
all the while carrying a bushel
full of lemons and limes
this dance in balance
while adrift and countering
numerous wakes of a myriad of vessels
all competing
to set up
to sell
to barter
all with such grace
their feet caress the wood
the stone
the rain
which has just kissed the ground

    Absolutely POWERFUL first photo that grabbed me.

    Very proud you went to Vietnam the first time and thankful you took the time to go back.
