Cottages

Gingerbread cottages
on the old revival campsites
around the Tabernacle
on the Bluff
over the Atlantic
on the Vineyard

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

Rev. Brown, retired now,
told me the history
The story
of the faith community
resident there
each summer
on the Island.
