| tiller hand | on polished wood | |
| imbued with salt | worked | |
| a partnership | seaward or home | |
| familiar | this practical bond | |
| shared | between many | |
| tillers | hands | |
| so present | comfortable | |
| her hand | on my knee | |
| a reassurance | leaning, home | |
| familiar | this practical bond | |
| shared | between many | |
| sisters | hands | |
| toes, connected | knees | |
| shoulders soft | strong | |
| a belonging | through journeys | |
| familiar | this practical bond | |
| understanding | we need | |
| tillers | hands | |
| tell her hand | on polished knee | |
| salted by eyes | she steers | |
| a journey | no harbour, no beach | |
| familiar | this practical bond | |
| because we are | many | |
| sisters | islands | |
