Acadia (Poem)


Acadia

Waking and wandering and
jackets drenched with sea-salt drizzle
we climbed
pink granite mountaintops
finding the first light of day
coupled with rushes of breezes
whispering our secret words
 instead of shouting them
- exhilarating

Scattered with blueberry bushes
low – we tasted your earthiness
and the abundance of your shores
potted and boiled – red
gliding on a fork through butter
- ambrosial.

Words repressed
views too sacred for utterance
on lake shores
drifting with  morning mists
these scattered fragments
- I’ll remember.
