Sand

24 6 6
                                    

Your skin comes undone under my touch
Sand falling off my hands,
Blown by the wind,
Shimmering dust made of dreams.
And my clumsy fingertips
In their haste betray me heart.
With desperate greed
They extend beyond my reach
Trying to catch in vain
Each single grain of your being.
