Father's Hated Call

Unfinished sandcastles repeat 
in visions encountered in dreams. 
The planning of them was so sweet: 
unfinished sandcastles. Repeat, 
unfinished; and rivals would bleat 
with joy as they clutched their ice-creams. 
Unfinished sandcastles repeat 
with triumphant besiegers' screams.
