Like whales beached on the sand
covered in the dunes
each car, like an archaeological dig
ancient Egypt
a treasure discovered
found buried
as if forgotten by time
an individual sarcophagus of snow
the layer of sand, of time
pushed away
markings of make, model
vanity plates, some kind of code
all giving way
to the shovel, the brush
the rays of the sun
falling on the part of the world
melting the snow of yesterday’s storm
exposing the bodies
from inside the sarcophagi of snow
