sweater in August
because: Maine
we come upon
wobbly cairns
sea-cliff stones
mysteries declared
especially when
middles are
thin.
Guess.
i say: prayers
to salt, Atlantic air
you say: way-markers
i say: to where?
you know it’s true,
it’s only just blue
over there, there
and there.

Perhaps they are not simply way markers but rather, as in the Old Testament, they bear witness to the fact that someone was there.
Love anything that mentions Maine. This brought me right there 💙
