But Nothing Like the Originals



But Nothing Like the Originals

By Alicia Millar


And still I try

as the water recedes

to build again

with sand and weeds


The castles change,

throughout the day

I try so hard

to make them stay


my hands get wrinkly

my skin turns brown

I build back up

what water knocks down


I know tonight

the tide comes in

to take the life

the girl put in


While water wins,

in every trial

Still I build

Still I smile
