Cottages – v2

Gingerbread cottages,
on the old revival campsites,
around the grand Tabernacle
on the Oak Bluff
over the Atlantic
on Martha’s Vineyard.

Hearing ghosts of sermons and
summer sounds of families
year after year
as wood frames replaced tents
on the narrow family plots.

Rev. Brown, retired now,
told me the history
The story of a faith community
resident there each summer
on this Island,
Martha’s Vineyard.
