Momentary Monument

Sometimes

we scribble just to

fill the sheet,

to feel our arm.

Sometimes we

fill our cups with air.



Sometimes

children are born accessories;

earrings adorned

for the shine.

Meaning

for emptier lives.



Sometimes

we shape the haphazard

like a sand castle

at the shore.

A momentary monument built

to stand atop.



Some time

we will drop.
