MONHEGAN VILLANELLE
When day descends the stair of sky
And ribs of clouds exhale the light,
The sea breathes deep as colors die.
West bellows blow the embers high
And dark-winged terns stitch flames in flight.
When day descends the stair of sky,
She walks the stones where wild tongues lie,
and, lambent, searches cloud’s delight.
The sea breathes deep as colors die.
And sieves the gold, the rose, the rye
Like coins through colanders of light.
When day descends the stair of sky,
Bright water cups, then darkly sighs
And laps the petal edge of night.
The sea breathes deep as colors die,
Makes grief in phosphorescence fly,
And spills it on horizon’s height,
When day descends the stair of sky,
The sea breathes deep as colors die.

“Watercolor is an ideal medium for the plein air painting I do in the summer on Monhegan Island, 12 miles off the coast of Maine. It is my soul place, a community of artists and fishing families who support one another and live in harmony with the natural cycles. The Atlantic Ocean surrounds us and the wild beauty of this island, its wave-washed stones and its “cathedral” woods, draw me in. I clamber over rocks to find what is caught in the crevices along the bold shore.”- Kate Cheney Chappell
