In Delicate Aroma
In delicate aroma I walked the beach at nightWhere the moon Joined sand into sea And the waves rolled back the world.
Here shattered night Makes clean each grain it meets Where yesterday A sand-crab walked And found its mate for safety.
Roll back the world For so I have been free With a crab And the sea And my shadow on the moon-lit beach. -Rachel Goodman

Roll back the world For so I have been free With a crab And the sea And my shadow on the moon-lit beach. -Rachel Goodman
