This corner of life
I pretend
my popsicle stick fence
withstands more than
a mere exhaled breath
Not quite sure
exactly what led me here
footsteps to trace
did I really come this way?
Who's to say
I haven't just been in circles
My tentative calling
echos upon the clouds
dangling hope of daybreak
A teasing glimmer shut away
I dig my toes into the sand
determined to last the wait
Knocked unawares
gasping for air among salty sea
A reminder to my toes
no matter how deep you dig
oceans always move the sand
from underneath to a swirl
a kiss of pearl foam
sliding away amused
