🌀 Spunky Mind Tricks


One grain

Whoops, mountain


One grain scooted left.


Another followed.


A third got distracted

and zigzagged right.


The wind came through

dragging its beach behind it.


Nobody appeared

to have brought a blueprint.


By afternoon, the beach

had grown a new elbow.


A footprint disappeared.


A seashell acquired

a penthouse.


By morning, everything

had moved again.


Except one grain.


It was waiting

for a ride.



See you on the trail. 🐾


dirt first

everything else is a surprise
