Quick Sand

by June Labyzon

It is the wheel
no longer attached
leaving prints
in the sand,
a toe in the sand
as it rolls down the page.

I count the spokes
the images clear.
I used to be,
but now I am.

The control is good
making the language bend
shining a light
on the room in the poems
cutting away
back.

Rolling,
Hanging from a tree
a toe in the sand
Indelible images
cool,unspreadable
making soft the butter
that is my heart

each stanza is so pure June. and that second one strikes me as so sure it could cure whatever ails one, who used to be but now am ( hopefully in my entirety ) Glad is the reader to have you pick up a quill and write like this.
