small hands break like ice
splintering
under the weight of
tree stump hands
little girl does pirouettes
in the sand
feet disappearing
more and more
with each turn
she won't crack a smile
for she might fall apart
spinning
spinning
spinning
like a fatalistic top
people tell her time heals
all wounds
but they never tell her
when to stop.--EAC
