Monhegan White Head and black rock edge: Here [[strikethrough]] Drowned [[strikethrough]] is the island, breaks the sky. [[strikethrough]] the [[strikethrough]] From unscoured headlands huge undersea, the island stains the sky. Winds At Squeaker whip the split spruce Fallen across the chasm. The diagonal day drags anchors On fierce outer ledges. Nigh Duck. Eastern Duck Rock. Through the unuttered afternoon Straight arrows of shag streak The salt cloud. In the divided sky the blackbacks Cry a haunting of grey Ten tides wide. Granite is spelled by water, Deep by sky. Bayberry by grass, and grass By the power of the summer. In generations of gulls In the fogs torn by gongs, In rehearsals of surf Hear [[strikethrough]] Is [[/strikethrough]] the cadence of this Atlantic. [[strikethrough]] Moons [[/strikethrough]] Stars, [[strikethrough]] and [[/strikethrough]] this night [[strikethrough]] s [[/strikethrough]], [[strikethrough]] and birds [[/strikethrough]] [[strikethrough]] The [[/strikethrough]] and whales Go by. [[strikethrough]] Cliffs turn back the night [checkmark] [[[/strikethrough]] [[strikethrough]] Land falls. [[/strikethrough]] Wide is the sea. 7-68
