When bodies lie on the sand getting tan
These days of Summer are dres...

California Atmospheric River
...Gushing river's flow,
Rain cascades upon the land,
California soaks.

Parched landscapes await,

Footsteps
...Footsteps
Trod in sands
Lines
Drawn by childrens’ hands
Smoothed by onshore winds
To exist
Though briefly
To be expunged

when monsters came out of the night,

exiting frozen grounds halfway into June.

The day gives way tonight
The child cries.
Tranquil is the sea
Ripples onshore as tar
