Hatteras

From the island Campobello to the tiny coastal town Manteo, I shamble, tranced by the air down the primordial Eastern Coastline. The whole goal, my novel model, was a solo trip to the far bright blue, like an image of a pilgrimage.  You know it's peculiar but otherwise I wouldn't go. There's clandestine crime in this tow that pulls my route and road, my flow, to spoil a puppy with table scraps - I beg for ocean, and I need the ocean. The tide, the nights, the moon and the dawn the sand, the bonfire, the waves and the wind and kind, fisher-folk, who're proud to show aloofness to the inlands where, they know... That the sea is a tale yet to be told, that the coast is a chance to behold a translucent new vision, so few worldly worries. Seeking the edge of where water soaks dreams.
