It is reprinted by permission of the editor. Disembarking at Digby We waited all day for this for the hills lifting out of the floating horizon the basin webbed with nets the sky with its gulls And it would have been worth it despite the squalls that followed us over the Bay of Fundy but as we drove off the Arcadian Queen the left front tire went flat and the sun went down behind stranding us two helpless spiny creatures at the lowest tide of the year crippled in unfamiliar air but still praying for the revival of the wave that brought us here.
