A Lamentation
I will never know
What passes through her mind as she scoops
Dripping wet sand and bunches of kelp
And hurls them toward the blackening ocean.
Or know her inner thoughts as she sings
Her invented tunes quietly under her breath,
And picks flowers, indelicately,
Frantic to gather as many as she can fit
In her small clenched hand.
There are worlds she creates
Which I will never see, or even know
Existed in her fantastical young mind.
And every day she is farther from me.
