They wiggled around their huts,
eating fish and sitting in the...

Because the waves were leaving
The sound of my footsteps pressed in sand
A pink sky
What’s behind me is never seen again
Becoming detached diving in
Maybe it’s time

“Tell me,...

VDear secret, have I done you justice?

The Relic
I don't know the faces
in the old photograph,
stored in the attic
with other relics
of lives long past
I don't know their names,
or the stories etched

and in eyes that saw
