Those amongst the coastal beach,
shoveled water out to keep,
their home and business clean

The flowers and the carpet’s grass
upturned to the sun en masse
the seeds of trees along the breeze.
Strangers in the wood that night,

the seeds of trees trapped in the breeze

a inkling of the past comes back
