Time passes
The child that built sandcastles
meters across
is long gone
castle turrets adorned
strong wide walls
battered by spade
baked by sun
cannon balls
pounded the incoming sea
the tide could never be
held back
when it was out
you could walk a long way
towards the reef
swimming through the
rock pools
with the puffer fish
getting them to puffer up
with their spikes
sticking out like a hedgehog
slow swimmers
it was easy to catch them
though you had to
be careful of their poisonous
spines
it takes seven years
of training to slice them
into Fugu on a plate.
