Friday is the 114th day of the year, which seems a great reason to celebrate to us. No food specials, just our regular fabulous menu, but you can join us and the fabulous Bummers Saturday night for a rollicking piratical song fest.
ALSO! Save the date: our annual Golf Tournament this year will be on Sunday, August 2nd. Sign up now at the bar or on our website, www.hawleysgrove.com
“sailing”
After having loved we lie close together
and at the same time with distance between us
like two sailing ships that enjoy so intensely
their own lines in the dank water they divide
that their hulls
are almost splitting from sheer delight
while racing, out in the blue
under sails which the night wind fills
with flowerscented air and moonlight
– without one of them ever trying
to outsail the other
and without the distance between them
lessening or growing at all.
But there are other nights, where we drift
like two brightly illuminated luxury liners
lying side by side
with the engines shut off, under a strange constellation
and without a single passenger on board:
On each deck a violin orchestra is playing
in honor of the luminous waves.
And the sea is full of old tired ships
which we have sunk in our attempt to reach each other.
–Henrik Nordbrandt, trans. Alexander Taylor
