String of Pearls

Foggy morning
On the Vineyard
In Aquinnah
Wet chair, hot coffee
Sip in the heat
Shake the daze

Camera and film
Sandals snap as I walk
In the early morning
Before the island awakes

Misty morning
Full of promise
For a skilled watcher
Of moment and place

Wet green
Lush
Looking for a web
Ready to pose

A string of pearls
Hovered before a backdrop
Bowed by the wait
Of the night

A long cord
Tacky to hold the drops
As drops
My reflection in each as I approached
To steal the scene
With closeup lens

Centered and balanced
Enlarged and framed
Hovering now
On my wall
To conjure the moment
On the path
Years ago
