silt and sand

silt and sand

residue, particles left untouched,

building, creating a new piece of evidence

of life's collections.

water rushed, smoothing, polishing

off the rough areas. 

embedded in each other, gathering sacredly -

bonded.

the silt and sand.  tiny,

tiny as it can be - slipping

through fingertips.  so small,

one cannot hold it in the hands.

so small.

water is the mixing agent.
