invite me to explore your
sandy chest
let's build a sand castle from
our bucket of dreams
seal it with a kiss,
maybe this time it will
be permanent

you cut your hand on the seaglass
littering the beach,
your blood drips onto
our kingdom
and the sandpeople scatter for the safety of their homes,
they know the rain will wash them away,
they know they will blend into
the rest of the shore

the tide rises and rips our home
away from us,
disperses the life we built,
displacing the grains of hope
we so carefully put in place

there go the turrets
the moats
the people
the walls

we are the last to go
