So dear

Beyond the shore of broken shells
and lines left in the sand,
fingertips drew shapes or knots
from mountain-dust and weather,
finger-paintings, dot to dot.

When heart is heart, a spade a spade,
yesterday's escapades respectfully observed
as one would a ghost, the past is undone
in waves of acceptance cost. So dear,
what is found and what is lost.
