[for Joe Cole's prompt]*
~~~
Grain of sand?
I have no remembrance
of me being a grain of sand.
All I can tell you about
is this me you can see:
this glassy transparence,
a melted me,
metamorphosed
by fire.
Seemless frontier,
I can't but to split
daring to reach
the other side.
Grief, from this
sandy longing?
Yes, you may
say that's me.
