Winter Harbor, Maine

Winter Harbor, Maine


Page 30


Here are the photographs that inspired this poem about a day during a family visit in Maine. 




"mist surrounds us. Spruce and jack pine recede behind / the weathered air..."



"volcanic dikes that divide the stumbled granite leviathans / fractured millions of years ago, lava filled their cracks black / bound them apart"





"...basalt dikes, crushed by the granite / they divided, crumble into steps that span / old fissures..."








"...She will not pose for me / for me she will clown and gawk..."




"...one arm raised higher than the other / like a ship’s signalman in need of flags..."
