Child’s Play
from Metro
a Traveling Tales of Waybackwhen book
He was here before.
In another life
removed from the
hustle
and bustle of
making
ends, and beginnings
meet. Always
toeing the waterline
as it rises
rises
rises.
Castles in the sand, king
surveys his land
as the fortifications
lay bare, wasted,
washed up child’s play
sowing his wild oats
and beans and barley grow
but nothing
in this barren marsh.
