Small Things

July 10th, 2008 · No Comments

the little things build up
sand pushed to dune
one grain at a time
along the beach

which wind prevails
depends on location
ripples of earth
yield direction
after the fact

be careful climbing
granular shifts unsteady
footing whispered windsong
siren calls stop
rest before starting

little things build up
misunderstandings
careless words
a moment is enough
camels bear straw dogs.

clarity is not enough
lacking will to see
bones among the sand
polished ivory says
no water here
check at the next
mirage
