At Cap Lumiere, New Brunswick

Lobster boats prowl as fishermen,
or more like
cats licking their way
across Northumberland Strait

as footprint smudges on
ocean’s surface, sky an
Atlantic opaque

today’s crew bragging in their
yellow mackinaws
moist with morning dew.
Stench of herring bait, a sure lure.

Slatted traps, a feathery parade
to ocean’s bottom, home for
‘canners’ and ‘markets’

and their protruding eyes
anxious, claws groping.

OurEcho is a FREE SERVICE dedicated to capturing and sharing the individual "bits and pieces" that define our local communities. It might be a bit of interesting local history, an old photograph, a special memory or just a funny story. We are particularly interested in those fascinating and intriguing events/people (both large and small) that we all encounter as part of the human experience. It might be something that happened recently or something passed down to you through your family. Our goal is to provide a forum for local communities to share who they are through their stories and photographs. When you take the time to share these reflection with others, you help us better understand you, the world we live in, and if we are lucky, they help us better understand ourselves.
