Grains Of Sand

must i suffer the duration?
do i have a choice?
or must i wait
for the grains of sand
to one by one
fall to an eternity?
can’t i make them
fall any faster?
can’t i make them
all fall at once?
is there any way i can
set all the sands free
free from life
and its sharp confinements
free from what
we try to capture
revive
supply
and retain
why must i suffer the duration
why can’t i just let go
