The Harbor

Down in the harbor

boatmen and women

are making repairs

steadily preparing

to wrap up for winter

cocooning

as the sun 

slides lower and lower

in the sky

and the dinghies

lie in wait

for their final shuttles

of the season

. . .

Meeting Ms. Millay

Today outside the Camden Public Library

I came upon 

Edna St. Vincent Millay - 

head turned toward Camden Harbor

I followed her gaze

(I tried to post a third photo here,

of me beside Ms. Millay

but it does not want to upload.

Maybe tomorrow . . .)

Camden Harbor

Camden Harbor, Maine

Who owns these boats?

Who travels on them?

Families, friends?

Where do they go?

How did they learn to sail?

Each boat has so many stories

and if you are curious about them

you might be a writer.

Mm?
