Anchor
A box of photos sinks
me back to giggles
me back to giggles
lost in sand
building castles
building castles
over and
over again.
over again.
Distance
is a park playing
hide and seek
hide and seek
through leaves
and trees
and trees
that branch out
shadows,
shadows,
digging stories
in its eyes.
in its eyes.
