Molded and shaped
wet
sand, liquid clay
Specks of the rocks they once were
Packed and organized in the buckets
Like the seconds of our lives
Held together, packed
The urgent stories of us
On the beach, in the sun
Specks of the rocks they once were
Packed and organized in the buckets
Like the seconds of our lives
Held together, packed
The urgent stories of us
On the beach, in the sun
by
the pond’s edge
Working with the girls to create
A mighty fortress, regal and expansive
Working with the girls to create
A mighty fortress, regal and expansive
but
a myth, an illusion, memory
Thanks to Shanequa’s
Errant bucketful of destruction
Giggle and shriek
Splash, spill, dribble
Squander, linger
In the mote we created
Breached walls, explosion
A mirage of strength
Our handiwork flowing
Back to the water
Thanks to Shanequa’s
Errant bucketful of destruction
Giggle and shriek
Splash, spill, dribble
Squander, linger
In the mote we created
Breached walls, explosion
A mirage of strength
Our handiwork flowing
Back to the water
