Dark pavement lined with yellow trees… Never mind the buildings, they look the same. Trees bursting bark and root to come up with colors to rival the sun’s intensity.
They stand: still.
The wind, sticking a finger in, stirs, ruffles the piles, leafs through them, looking for something.
A new color. A beetle boy. Always frustrated and always hurried… Nothing is gold enough. The wind keeps pushing. It continues its tantrum through white winter.
Yet the feeling remains, when the sun leaves you, and you find yourself, alone on the beach.
