We come to this
Your place to dig clams
asking Your blessing;
a pot of chowder.
Your holy waters drawn back
we kneel, digging in the shells and gravel
seeking the salty sacrament;
butter clams.
Buckets brimming,
shoulders burn and hands cramp
on gritty handles - giving thanks
back up the long trail home.
