Twice Told Tales

When the ferry landed from Blanc Sablon at Pidgeon Cove
we rode to get some miles before the end of day
the sun was low above the western sea
the road was empty except a pickup now and then
Rt 430 was unforgettable I’m thinking of the ‘sacrifice’ pines
remind me to tell about them some time
the evening was clear
meaning in Newfoundland
the air was cold and sharp
an hour more to Cow Head beneath the pinpoint stars.
