This winding road sees
sunsets on the horizon
one
after the other
why don't they ever set
sunbeams to disappear
where are my stars
in clear skies?

I'm
trying to remember where I left my childhood.

Perhaps,
burried beneath my willow tree
with the seashells and buttons
safe keeping.

But,
here I stand
without shovel.
