The South Shore, Nova Scotia
Slender outline aside Canso’s
shore, a boy silhouettes
open-mouthed
harbour
gray dawn emerging.
Sharing his vision, tourists
seek sights along the
Marine Trail
and thoughts meander
as high tide surges
inland. They admire the
scenery, astonished.
Seagulls pause in private
adventures,
left-over signatures on
tide-abandoned
rocks, Atlantic’s view.
And cars continue
to intrude, from cove to
silent cove.
