Disconnection breeds in the distance
she keeps from the beach
in full view, in fullness with people.
She notices but stays away
doesn't participate in the play
in catching the sunrays.
The community of hope
and children
gossip and enlightenment breaks.
He emerges
from the sand, the sea creature on her land
of unwelcome.
He seeks her out, shows her sea shells
water glistening on his hands which draw out
a smile from her dry face.
