Sand in my Teeth
The slightest specs of sand
Ground down
From seashells
From coral
From sea rocks
From boulders
Fly off her towel that flaps around
In the stiff ocean breeze
At the end of a day
At the edge of the world
The tiniest granules
The most invisible flecks of glass
Catch in my hair
To shimmer in the sun
Blow into my eyes
A tingling telescope
Blurry from stinging tears
Into my mouth
Where in my sleep
They disintegrate
From grit
From dust
To will
To dust
