Sand Castles

open up. smoke whirling up curiously, stroking an empty screen.

let go. release the tensed, clutching hand. breath. we go to the right. signal. blink. blink. blink.

open up.

can we stop here for a moment? the view is so lovely. i feel so far away from home. listen, it is a beautiful song.

open up. open up.

let me in. make me some room on the bench. we close the door and we fall. let go. there is so much darkness and air and light and we fall and i don't know how to stop it.

open the back door. go out to the strange garden. maybe it leads nowhere. watch for the birds.

open up.



i scare myself sometimes.
