Lubec, ME


Leaves scurry through the vacant streets
as Lobstermen limply cry at the shore
where the tide has exposed the pylons supporting the sandwich shop
which dampness weighs down like heavy sleep pulls towards our beds.

A disused home ardently displays bright flags as window coverings
with an odd similarity to a high-street shop displaying goods.

Throughout there are echoes of life and a pantomime of prosperity.
