Sinking
Perfect 
 grains of sand
 slipping
 falling
 spraying across the surfce
 of the rolling waves
 that rock
 back and forth
 crashing
 against the rocks
 
 Perfect
 grains of sand
 drifting
 sinking
 settling onto the quiet bottom
 spread out
 alone
 without each other
 silently
 blending into the blanket of earth
 
 Perfect
 grains of sand
 isolated
 and unnoticed
 all by themselves
 wishing for their
 sand castles
 and mermaids
 with shells for shirts
 
 Perfect
 grains of sand
 scooped
 flung
 into the ocean
 missing what they were part of
 wishing
 dreaming
 of being a whole again
