KEYWORD INDEX
RETURN TO HOME
"Too good to be true-- a city that empties
its populace, a hundred shades of brown,
upon its miles of beach in the morning's lowlight
and takes the bodies back when darkness quells
the last long volleyball game: even then
the sands are lit for the soccer of homeless children."
