Winthrop Shore Drive, in Winthrop Mass.
“…The cries of scavenging gulls sound thin
In the traffic of planes
From Logan Airport opposite.
Gulls circle gray under shadow of a steelier flight.
Loss cancels profit.’’
— From “Green Rock, Winthrop {Mass.} Bay, ‘‘ by Sylvia Plath (1932-1963), American poet, novelist and short-story writer. She grew up in the Boston area.
