with my bucket and spade
i set out to create the best castle of all
and there's grandma
sitting next to me on the sand
to finish it off i stick
a twig, or leaf
at its tallest spire
and i let the waves come in
a first wave hits me
and then a second
i could spend
every second here
But then, I wake up
to a stark contrast.
The beach is full with people unknown
and I am lost for words
I'm taller and
not bothered with little things and
worried and
different.
Grandma is gone
and I am alone.
On the beach
I am alone.
