Sand Man
On average
I operate on an acre
of song grass
this past decade
its slowly filling
with stone and sand.
Once per lifetime
a vague law emerges from the brine
growling, childhood shall come to an end
gradually or suddenly
I was very adult like
to think the choice was ever mine.
Stone hovers clumsily
over flesh and bone
life is painfully precious
living has become voracious
on this lonely acre of
broken time
gull song
sand.
