Behind the luxurious beach house,
out of mind,
the local family who care for it
(a clapboard addition)
(stained plastic chairs)
bakes under a thick palm troposphere.

Ahead, the sun blazes fifty feet to the West
over white sand and expatriate torsos,
while permanent shadows and
dripping, humid beads,
fuel dark moss and rot.

Today, they will meticulously groom the ground
to make perfect the path
for more leaves tomorrow.
