"Large Sands"- by Isabella Joseph

---

I felt like sand in the wind. Allowing a force

to overcome my

weight. With rain and earth

my form evolved.

My time in the wind was

time to ponder. Ponder the

possibilities of a future which ended

in failure.

My time was a given and I would

like it to be deserved. Upon my descent speed

picks up. I gather myself with limbs I don’t know.

Time freefalling was time

accelerating. I become more than I was.

A particle worth sums of its

initial parts. Value at a molecular level.

To which if one fails another picks up.

Confidence in identity and

participation.

A larger sense of belonging along

seemingly identical beings.
