Low Tide

Rooms with a View

Low Tide

Last morning
Coffee and muffins
Reading papers
From spacious kitchen
View of low tide
Unobstructed
Building blocking view
Knocked down this week
To be rebuilt
Terrain still
Much as it was
When I summered here
Decades ago
Now an annual visitor
Recovering memories
Driving around the Cape
That hasn’t changed
In centuries
Other than more traffic
Gawkers
Cluttering weekends
Still feeling private
Privileged
Sense of noblesse
Dinner at the Yacht Club
Hosted by Pip
Short walk away
Where getting a room
At the Inn
More challenging than
Admission to Harvard
