For more poems by Ruth Moore, see her Cold as a Dog and the Wind Northeast (Cam den, Maine: Gorden Bok, 1958/1973) and The Tired Apple Tree One way, straight forward, it misses much. (Nobleboro, Maine: Blackberry Books, 1990). “The Offshore Islands” is from The Tired Apple Tree.

The longer sightings of the mind.

Beyond the darkness of the trees

The sunlight falling free suggests

A landlocked bay. The eye perceives

The light, at least, and there it rests

Until, distracted, I can look

Away. The air moves every leaf.

The branches bend. The landscape stirs.

Imagination, like belief,

Transforms the world. I look again

Down past the shadow. I can see

The bay and all the land beyond.

And I am where I ought to be.

3 THE OFFSHORE ISLANDS

The offshore islands belong to themselves. Then time slipped by, as inheritance does.

They stand in their own sea. They felt the mainland’s pull.

They do not inherit; they leave no heirs. They abandoned their homes to rot away,

They are no man’s legacy. And their cemeteries full.

Blazing volcanoes, cooled and dead, Theirs was the time of history

Marked nowhere a boundary line. And written records show

The rise and fall of oceans left That their hold on the offshore islands began

Not one no trespassing sign. Less than four hundred years ago.

The money was never minted, Now comes the era of real estate,

The clutch of its greed so strong Of the hundred thousand dollar lots,

It could honor a deed: TO HAVE A N D TO HOLD, Of the condominiums, side by side,

And keep these wild lands long. Along the shoreline choicest spots.

The first summer people were Indians. What follows the time of developers

For some five thousand years No human voice can tell.

They built up shore-line shell heaps before But the silent offshore islands know,

They lost to the pioneers. And they handle their mysteries well.

The white man took what he wanted. They speak with a voice that is all their own,

He had privilege, laws, and guns. And this is what they say:

He made fast his own boundary lines That they talk in terms of a billion years

And his property went to his sons. That their now is not today. And the ghosts they brought along with them From the west they sailed in Chebacco boats, Have never gone away. And the high-sterned pinkys, Essex-made.

In harbors where water was deep enough,

Their schooners carried a coast-wise trade.

The homesteads they made were sturdy, RUTH MOORE But those who built near the shores

Had to dig, if they didn’t want Indian shells

All over their cellar floors. HANCOCK COUNTY: A CULTURAL DIRECTORY

As the summer light and the crowding trees-

Beyond the darkness of the trees

The sunlight falling free suggests

A landlocked bay. The eye perceives

The light, at least, and there it rests

Until, distracted, I can look

Away. The air moves every leaf.

The branches bend. The landscape stirs.

Imagination, like belief,

Transforms the world. I look again

Down past the shadow. I can see

The bay and all the land beyond.

And I am where I ought to be.

The offshore islands belong to themselves. Then time slipped by, as inheritance does.

They stand in their own sea. They felt the mainland’s pull.

They do not inherit; they leave no heirs. They abandoned their homes to rot away,

They are no man’s legacy. And their cemeteries full.

Blazing volcanoes, cooled and dead, Theirs was the time of history

Marked nowhere a boundary line. And written records show

The rise and fall of oceans left That their hold on the offshore islands began

Not one no trespassing sign. Less than four hundred years ago.

The money was never minted, Now comes the era of real estate,

The clutch of its greed so strong Of the hundred thousand dollar lots,

It could honor a deed: TO HAVE A N D T O HOLD, Of the condominiums, side by side,

And keep these wild lands long. Along the shoreline choicest spots.

The first summer people were Indians. What follows the time of developers

For some five thousand years No human voice can tell.

They built up shore-line shell heaps before But the silent offshore islands know,

They lost to the pioneers. And they handle their mysteries well.

The white man took what he wanted. They speak with a voice that is all their own,

He had privilege, laws, and guns. And this is what they say:

He made fast his own boundary lines That they talk in terms of a billion years

In harbors where water was deep enough,

Their schooners carried a coast-wise trade.

The homesteads they made were sturdy, RUTH MOORE But those who built near the shores

Had to dig, if they didn’t want Indian shells

All over their cellar floors. HANCOCK COUNTY: A CULTURAL DIRECTORY
