Dear Joanne, This boat set sail from Holland, where my dear friend M. lives. He once sent me a recording of the (Scottish?) song ‘The False Bride’, which could have been an account of our own love, asking if “strawberries grow in the salt-sea”, and “How many ships sail in the forest”. The poem is written on the inside, the boat carries it’s forest on the ouside. Indeed our love seems impossible, as after 30 years it has yet to find a way of fully expressing itself………. Just let her go. Sailing off into the future. Wilma Bouwmeester, West Linton, Scotland.
