He scoops sands in baskets
then balancing neatly on the shoulder
carries to where needed
through bone breaking hours.
Upon his footprints is there a name
or a home
where he goes back for the night
lands featherlight kiss on a woman
awakes her sleepy bones with her hands
forgetting his days sinking in the sands.

He scoops sands in baskets
then balancing neatly on the shoulder
carries to where needed
through bone breaking hours.
Upon his footprints is there a name
or a home
where he goes back for the night
lands featherlight kiss on a woman
awakes her sleepy bones with her hands
forgetting his days sinking in the sands.
