HOT SAND

Olena Kayinska

Created in 2021.

People are massive rocks, I am loose sand. They maintain their shape, I can become of any shape. People are strong, I am weak. They stand as a monolith, I crumble into tiny particles of sand, which are impossible to get together. People stand all together, I am alone. I ensphere them. People are cold, I am warm. You can get warm with me, you can bury yourself in me and have a rest. I’ve constantly wanted to become a rock, but I will never become. I am sand. I want to be with rocks, but I will always be sidewise. My structure is completely different. Upon understanding this difference, I listen with my ear, how deeply inside of the thickness of my sand my heart is beating. In my warmth.
