A Sandbox of Sadness
hand to hair twirling
into the calmest air
finding you stealing
looks at me
with my knees
deep into the sandbox
songs song deeply
out of key while
you yawn and smile
pleasingly at our photograph
of kissing upon a dream
rainbows wrapped around
a candycane
with the deepest hues
that sorrow could paint
into this heart
