island hopping: capitol

soul provider

The island off the island, connected by a rickety one-lane bridge. At the shoreline, spruce trees draped in sea lace, willowy wisps of seafoam green lichen. Dewdrops glinting in murky sunlight. The sun winks from behind a cloud. My lips taste like coffee and sea mist.

An island is a dream.

Rocking chairs on the porch of the old casino. A poster for the end-of-season potluck supper. “Heart and Soul” from the old piano wafting through the windows.

An island is a melody.

Croquet, steamships, a resort. The rippled spectres of a bygone colony.

An island is an old soul.
