Absence was in the air the night of the full moon dance across the sand their bodies rose and fell shadows in a blur of fire dancers and drum beats a harmony of light and people stood ashore for all to see off the mainland spirits came and went shadows on the coast merry light hearts and seasoned creeps

Time hung dry as people sang rhymes and met with musical minds with instruments of sweet sweet addiction their hands fingers and throats were accordion of sounds eclectic shapes of worship malcontent with shame or regret

bonfire saturated each breathe as embers burned to their death in conjunction with luminescence and inheritance red tide splash forth colors of ancient descent annual breeds flowering in the sea greeted all the ghosts and tourists along a moon reflecting coastline drawn by master hands and strewn with beauty as the harmony simmered off the earth like heat waves
