Pour the land
Sand runs down the slopes, piles up and settles.
Pour the land, plant it, and build a village of your own.
Sand runs down the slopes, piles up and settles.
Pull its walls to size, then pick a roof, a door and a chimney.
Cats wander the paths, koi find the pond and bees find the flowers.
Windows light up, lamps glow along the lanes and fireflies come out.
Every jar keeps a film of how it grew. This one begins as bare wood and ends with lit windows.
