Bad Little Falls on the Machias River in Machias

Bad Little Falls on the Machias River in Machias

“As if the banks were lined by spiders

tossing long, shimmering filaments

the river crawls along like prey.”

….Some have caught a fish. Four crescent tails

are nailed to my woodshed door.

For summers to come

they will draw the iridescent flies.’’

— From “Bluefish run, Machias, Maine,’’ by Paul Nelson
