so not happy still but here goes...yes Mel was born in Melbourne.
Melbourne Beach, FL
There is no dirt
where I come from--
only sand.
Faerie dust tickling between toes--
grains of a million would-be mirrors.
It got everywhere--
invaded my body
and my home.
I used to catch its fleas
and periwinkles.
But tidal pools help miniature galaxies
and I was an eager astronaut.
There is no sand where I am now--
just red mud clay perfect for molding
and views of green mountains.
Whatever sand remained in my soul
has long been lost
and it is sorely missed.
