you loved shaping-----constructing
long snaky rivers
with reservoirs and castles
running back and forth pails in each hand
filling sandy holes
directing rivulets back towards lake
sitting in the sand stick-like legs doubled under
blue trunks covering thighs
spindle eight-year old arms braced at the side
head topped by white glow
-------reflecting sun’s shimmer
sand in piles around you
your building project
like your blocks in the basement
-------variations on the feed mill theme
a lone figure
water green and white
stretched out behind you
set
determined
your project
