Pemaquid Lighthouse Revisited
We park beside the lighthouse keeper’s garden.
A hummingbird is unbalancing hibiscus flowers;
a nuthatch, tidying up the trunks of trees.
I didn’t know its name the last time we were here.
What else did I not know? What else has happened?
This is a place we don’t seem to mind returning to
after the dog, without him, maybe because
it looks like time made walkable.
