Nature poem about the old whaling cabin at Point Lobos, California


Poem Artwork

Whalers’ Cove Cabin

Like most of us, the cabin has seen
better days, slouches between wind-deformed
cypress, degenerative roofline, concave.

Scattered whale vertebrae serve as
geranium planters, brittle ribs
demark a path to the front door.

Old salts now compost beneath sod,
their tumultuous histories forgotten.
Shells and bones are all that survive.

Wonderfully imagined. Archaeology of a bygone era. Whaling in California is extinct now, the Bailey Wick of whale watchers, international.
