one man canoe

i told her no, that i didn't
want to get into
a canoe with her, her and the boat
both being
unstable
in this brown water.
i don't want to go under,
i told her.
but it's too late for that she
said,
showing me her hand
with the ring on it.
i'm sorry, no returns and taken
as is.
to which i said,
we'll see about, and rowed
off without her.
