they were the warriors under stones
I heard the sand of their armor
as they struggled to become clay

and the potter smiled her eyes
and pried her hands into their water
reaching for the souls she could fashion

into goblets of crystalline for her wine
and saucers of vapor to hide her jewels
and a vase diaphanous to stem her black roses

her breasts are heavy now in their freedom
she plays them in shadow dances for the sun
lest he hurry to his night place covenant

without glassing her lover's complexions

I love sand, and thanks to you I see all that it is, not just for my barefeet on beach days, but for much more.

always enjoy whispers from the dark

My spirit will rise
above the sea~
There will be no drowning
of my soul or me~
