grainy

it is far too late to rebuild mountains.
clutch the sands and your
fingers are a sieve. a million
grains falling past, a million
grains running. it flows and it
never stops, like the tide. kiss the
unfaithful sand with your toes.
even if for a brief moment, imprint
the shore with your history.
you were once here,
as you were once there.
