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
