NORTHERN POINT
—after Wyeth
Gray granite ledge
edging out rippled sea.
Dry salt-sifted grass.
Amber orb—rod
rammed through parched peak of roof.
Shadows. Shakes. Cracks. Chain.
Hard Maine, stone cold,
honed by sand, wind—landscape
primed for the taking.
Landscape claimed by
tempera on gesso.
Back to bone. His point.
