It feels important:

​a demand made merely by
the realization that you are
here
- We were elsewhere?
You are here, on this shore
that is as certain as the sand.
It beckons:
for some it taunts
write your name. Leave
a mark. Tell us what happened,
how it taints you.
Write it in the sand before the tide.
Call it a legacy if you will--
and yes, you will,
you urge and urge,
All Nature urges through you saying,
write it in the sand.
