Michigan Dunes (sonnet)

Long grasses sift with heavy sand footsteps
Pink glow of the sky like a baby's cheeks
Hum softly lovers without love like me

"abortive mothers, we hate each other"
The shadow couple sit high and mighty
Lovers without love like me absent dreams

Mister hides his face, twinkle, she comes out
To play. Bright adjusted, stare and wonder
Real prescence, fake thoughts
    Makes no time for strain
Together we stand, freed in the sand time
Joy is the name of the game, if you miss
