Sand Man
I operate on a humble acre of song grass.
Recently its slowly filling with stone and sand.
Once per lifetime, a vague law emerges from the brine.
Growling, "childhood shall come to an end".
Stones hover clumsily over flesh and bone.
Life is painfully precious; living has become voracious.
On this lonely acre of broken time and sand.
