another youth climbs the tree
this one a barefoot girl
—the cop chased away a boy
as a teenage girl
sings, sings at piano
for a small crowd
people take it upon themselves
to light the paper lanterns
that glow our way through the breezy night
the dark beckons everyone
to the beaches
lawn chairs jockey for space
to spy the fireworks
Lobster Fest has wound down,
dusk shrouds the folded tables and chairs
as visitors mingle and float away
praying they come
back
