Like a sand castle on the sea shore,
What we had was always finite —
Beautiful in the moment,
Soon to be swallowed up
By the rising tide
Take a picture
Before it
Falls and
Fades

Small town fever dream
Tank stood over the bodies. There were three, and he knew them all. Were they still people? A difficult question for him to answer, and not the first question he expected his brain to fish out of the questions he had swimming around in his head.
