Same house · Different hour

The sitting is the person.

No second brand. No men’s aisle. Match in the skin. Molly on the bone. Dawn, storm, low tide — not last light.

Three hours

Same tin. A different beach.

Cannon Beach · Dawn

Tide pools. Silver Pacific. Match in the skin. Molly whispered on the bone.

Ecola Point · Storm

Spruce and cliff. Dark water. The same copper. No costume.

Hug Point · Low tide

Sea caves. Overcast bounce. Molly still reads.
