My Boat Is So Small

Description

Navigating the hazards of sex and marriage 

Sonia, thrown by a broken mid-life marriage, flees to Sweden to stay with her long-time Swedish friend Inge. Forty-nine, a professional woman in Washington, D.C., she's run the gamut from open relationships to an attempt at a normal marriage with Ben. Ben's got a restraining order against her after she broke into her ex-house, yet he wants her back. Her life's imploding and she's failed to get love, sex, and respectability lined up.

  Inge's had her own take on “normal,” having been a Swedish trophy wife in America. Now her mother Eleanor is fading, feeling robbed by life as a refugee and an illegitimate child whose father was hidden from her. Sonia shares her own history of broken taboos to draw Eleanor out. Inge's brother Ammon, a Sami/Laplander, sparks Sonia's bruised heart with tormenting temptation, especially after he rescues her from a foolish misadventure.

  By chance, Sonia brings the answer to their family secret.

Latest Poem

In my Room long ago
I sat so merry in my abode
Loving hands around me
I dreamt of such glorious days
One day i would see

I remember the day I left
My room
I closed the door behind me
One quick look again
Then walked away
The room which would always remind me

The glorious days I had dreamt
I did merrily spent
How little did I then know
Life turns on a dime
My room is now not as it was
When I closed the door
Behind me

My room now is a prison
But not how one would invision
It is one of sorrow and grief
Sadness burns into the bare walls
I catch my breath
And weep

Why did thou'st doth betray?
The room which once embraced me
I ask with riddled heart
Jagged and torn
Which wicked riddles have I thus sought?

I sit still
I am now my room
No dreams as once before
I age before my open door

In my room long ago
I sat merrily in my loving abode
Loving hands did hold me
All gone

My room and myself
Now one
Two thrust to be together
Forever
Alone
