Gift

If the sand isn’t already slick
with oil, one day I’ll balance you on my hip
as the waves lap at my thighs
and be filled with joy
again, discovering the vastness of
the world
through your eyes

a second sight,
complete

perfection
your father’s fingers entwined with mine

The greatest gift of all. You paint a lovely picture, I imagined myself sitting on the beach watching you playing with your child. A very beautiful poem.
