Takes One To Know One
stranded on purple sand island
with waters surrounding our feet
no bags no belongings
just eachother
breezes blow her long dark hair
back and forth
back and forth
as her toes dig beneath the sand
coconuts surround the land
my sister climbs high up
knocking seven down
one by one
three years apart but closer than ever
we laugh as we spear fish
and build our tent with
extra large dark green palm leaves
hand in hand we splash
large waves take over the island
causing shrieks of laughter
from my younger sister's lips
her shadow hovers over mine
three inches to be exact
while the sun sets over
purple sand island
