the soft caress of leaves against concrete
the pain in howling summer winds
storm dawn the rush as bus doors open
dusk we welcome the cold into homes
the weight of greying skies on our shoulders
summer the rift between skin grows
calamatize the temporary tranquil
just clothes and skin and foreign soil
even human sounds no longer reach the dunes
