Sand
Born feet first,
not head first
Only loved two
people in her life, both have broken her heart,
Hates wearing
shoes
Sand
Before,
We learn how to
walk,
We crawl first,
Before we talk,
We gaggle,
Before we swim
freestyle,
We use the floats,
We do doggy style,
Before we make it,
We fake it.
Things are first,
And things are
second,
Not,
Because we want
them,
Because it just
happens,
And that was how
it,
Occurred,
With her,
Landing feet
first,
Walking,
Before talking,
Freestyling,
Before faking,
Her head,
Coming a dead
last,
She was destined,
To be that walker,
Jumping,
Leaping,
Acting,
Like as if,
On a bad Arnie
day,
Thinking,
Was something,
For later,
While,
She was floating,
Drifting through,
The air,
Looking below,
Despair,
Reading her mind,
Landing,
Her fist clenched,
Like the
terminator,
Waking with his
gun,
Hunting for,
Young Miss Sarah.
A lesson needs to
learned,
Until,
It’s made perfect,
Until,
That stupid,
Fool has learnt
it,
Loving,
Is an easy thing
do,
Like buttering hot
toast,
On a cold day,
So many people,
Love,
Yet,
So many people,
Don’t love back,
Finding that love,
Is harder,
Like,
Dipping into the
peanut butter jar,
Scooping out a lot,
Only to look down,
And see,
It’s marmite,
Not wanting to
waste,
Spreading it
light,
Cooking more
toast,
Pulling that
cheese,
Out of the fridge,
Gifting it to the
marmite,
Easing,
The taste,
Being in love,
Two hearts,
Becoming one,
Is harder yet,
Like,
Taking that diaper,
Of that baby,
His sweet sweet
aroma,
Filling your nose,
That diaper smell,
Is not forgotten,
It’s not the best
part,
Of this task,
But,
That warmth,
That natural love,
Is what makes,
That diaper
changing,
A little,
A tiny break easy,
Like that diaper,
Her heart,
Was meant to be changed,
Numbers,
Are,
Just another way
of counting,
Breaking,
Is just another
way of mending,
Living,
Isn’t just waiting
to die,
Loving,
Isn’t something to
be afraid of,
Being afraid,
Shouldn’t be a
reason,
Not to love,
Loving,
With eyes wide
open,
With diamonds,
Dazzling from her
eyes,
Is the only way to
be,
For to fear,
Is to be like,
That little boy,
Who teases,
And taunts,
The young girls,
Who boldly,
Pushes,
The young boys
To the ground,
When they walk
away,
Holding that
special hand,
When in his there
is air,
That little boy,
Braving it off,
Pretending,
Like nothing else
matters,
Loving is another
way,
Of sharing,
Of joining in
unison,
Breaking,
Is simply mending,
Finding,
Another,
New,
Better,
Exciting.
Way.
There’s nothing
like,
That feeling,
Of walking into
the supermarket,
And stepping into
something wet,
Something clear,
Yet,
A little yellow,
Toes,
Splishing,
Splashing
Shaking,
Heels,
Picking up the
pace,
Eyes picking out,
Any other wet
spots,
Navigating a
track,
Around them,
Shoes were made,
To protect
And to serve,
Shoes were made,
To avoid,
Those little
puddles,
On the floor,
But,
She’d rather take
that risk,
A prick,
Or a dip,
Is welcomed to
her,
Her hardened sole,
She entices
danger,
She spreads it,
On her bread,
With her freshly
made,
Jam,
Free is where she
wants to be,
Cool,
Out in the open
dust,
Breathing,
In the fresh,
Not soaking,
Inside that old
brown sock,
Trapped within a
cage,
All sweaty,
All stinky,
All stiffy,
Free,
Like they were
born,
Landing first,
With her head
behind,
Loving two,
Mending,
Not breaking,
Her toes,
Playing in the
fresh,
Hot,
Golden sand.
