We visited the beach today

And found it empty and low

The wartime ruins had been exposed

By the early spring storms

Having been buried for many months

I soon found the corroded blade

Of a long lost knife

Near the final remains

Of an unlucky fish

I returned the poor creature to the sea

Even though it was past caring

This made me feel good

And for the first time in weeks

I felt at peace with myself
