To Fit With the Poem

 

TO FIT WITH THE POEM

open box
open to rain
open lid to fill

none of it holds
even open to
acceptable rain

walking on rain
that fills the box
seeping into the sands

finding room
for the box of time
like so much wet cardboard

peeled layers
to fill 
accepting even sand

grains that fill with water
form
while wet cardboard melts

walking on water
only needs
sand


A. MENDOZA, 2016
