Surfer at Wellfleet

Miriam Levine

for Helen

Where does he get

the patience to wait through the twilight, rocking

on his stomach in the break and surge,

head to the side, as if he were sleeping? It’s freezing

in the afterglow when he finally rises on his one long ride home.


”Surfer at Wellfleet” from The Dark Opens. Included in the second edition of The Autumn House Anthology of Contemporary American Poetry.
