she gathers mushrooms
for they remind her of oyster shells
but too soon, the rain dries
and the sun takes
her sea away
Tag: forest
Babe in the Woods
Lost in the forest
Brushing aside yellow leaves
A setting sun drifts
Yearning for my seaside town
I taste wet salt on my lips
Babe In the Woods
Through the white-tinged haze
Of water over a forest bridge
A girl in a red hood stops and shakes
Her feet leave stone-heavy steps
Yet the other side of the span gleams
A reflection of the sunlight
She thinks must not be far away
And so deceived, she continues on her way
