PORTUGUESE COVE, NOVA SCOTIA poem
by Richard L. Provencher

Portuguese Cove, Nova Scotia

Dockside is like the Sheriff
capturing smells from herring-bait
and lobster boats
disgorging wood-slatted traps,
where jam-packed claws
clamber for space,
harbours' movements
a bedlam of activity.

Nearby open water flushes
whitecaps riding a windy tattoo
cabin as a flimsy
moustache on hill's rocky
lip. A fisherman
dreams of nets repaired and buoys
newly tarred. His snoring
continues
within a yard's clutter
of lobster pots.
