The coastline is quiet at this time of year
waves crash silent out of respect because sometimes silence is bigger than a gesture and sometimes noise isn't enough the lights this season dance along the shore sending a Morse code message of festive hope It's almost December I can see my breath my hands are numb my feet are cold and I'm alive and this year that's enough |
