harbor snow

I watch the harbor through the falling snow the sky and sea form one vast, gray tableau the sun is nothing but a weak, background glow the scene draws me, as if hypnotically. Five mile’s lighthouse warnings go unvoiced its strobes not lashing out, so what’s its point it stands majestically but disappoints replaced electronically A tiny lobster boat makes its landward way towards the inlet from the wider channel bay a powdery blizzard is underway which melts into the mirror sea. Ospreys still hunt round the lobsterman's pride snowflakes stain them as they soar and glide other seabirds huddle side by side shivering and crowing lividly. Through the narrows the lonely boat steams past icy Luddington Rock and East Breakwater's breech its berths and moorings, within minutes reach and sadly, it’s time for me to leave. . .
