Terror chimes their ominous bells
     (time comes, sea flows)
Airplanes fill and earth-flames swell
     (wounds heal, heart knows)

Empty homes and crowded closets
     (time comes, sea flows)
Half-roofs that rains deposit 
     (wounds heal, heart knows)

Truck-beds haul away heavy sheets
     (time comes, sea flows)
Soaking, salty; sewing, sweet
     (wounds heal, heart knows)

Digging in sand, stitching with pens
     (time comes, sea flows)
Building will begin again
(wounds heal, heart knows)
