‘Back to the wind’

Looking toward Mt. Katahdin from Chamberlain Lake.

“Chamberlain Lake {in Maine} is huge this year….

“Out on the deepest part
of the lake, where amethyst swells
release their hold
and turn back toward shore,
a man gives his father’s ashes
back to the wind.’’

— From “Photographing the Sunset,’’ by New Hampshire poet Sara Willingham
