Late Frost

Sitting by the shore, I saw the sunlight reach even each grain of sand. The spot where the sea breeze lingered stayed warm for a long time.

The sea aster leaves folded by the wind have drifted even into my shade. The sunlight lingers longer than the gulls.

The sunlight resting on the fallen leaves stayed in that spot all afternoon.
