At Portuguese Cove
by Richard L. Provencher

The dockside is a smell
of herring-bait as lobster boats
disgorge slatted traps,
movements
wrestling for a little space
shoreline harbour a bedlam
of commercial activity.
Against a sheer rock wall
the frisky wind tattoos
with evening might, a cabin
shivering on ocean's lip.
Inside, one tired fisherman
captures dreams, of
nets to repair, buoys to paint
backyard a disarray of lobster
pots desperate for tarring.
