This common buoyancy

What is this rope,
that lies here
partially and yet invisibly
submerged?
That which keeps us
anchored and connected,
is not the solid construction
of the boat,
but the finer and more flexible thread
that ties us, each to each,
that floats suspended in the water,
this common buoyancy
that feeds our cells and souls.
