concrete world of barking dogs, traffic lights, bikes and mad butchers 
with cleavers? 

The world is not going to care. 

So she comes, seeking out my beach, to discard her clothes and stand
naked in the wind, staring out to sea contemplating what it is to love, 
and be loved, and to fail at love with no real understanding of each 
other's perspectives on life, we're simply like ill fitting dentures 
against the gum of reality. 

She shifts nervously. A few rocky granules topple over the cliff's edge.


‘Just so you know, it's a kind of unwritten law; the sea gives back what
doesn't belong to her.' 

At that very moment the temptations of the ‘Beach Goddess' must have
spoken more sense to her. A heap of clothes is all that remain of a 
life that walked here. 

A couple of days from now flowers will bloom where no such flowers
should ever bloom. They will not last, and when they have gone, the 
shoreline will again become mine.
