Sandcastles

Lynn White

She’s standing on the beach
with a small suitcase.
It’s unclear
if the suitcase is full

or empty.
Once she packed it full

of her dreams,

but it’s unclear
if any remain.
She thinks now
that they were built on sand,
sandcastles on the beach
to be carried away
on a storm tide,
or washed up

and buried

in the sand.

All that is clear
is the emptiness

of a long horizon.
