Astara and I hiked rocky shoreline
to the lighthouse

was so surprised
in rush between breakfast
and boarding the Peapod for shore trip
to find in my pillbox this wasn’t Tuesday but Wednesday

Yes, Eastport is a working waterfront. Especially if you like lobster.

for a dark night
awash in too much nothingness
to be Zen

we’re all so happy to be at sea
the 14 of us plus crew
on a gorgeous day
despite our ages
or a slight chill

stand by
drop the hook
