i plan
i plan for sand between toes and fingers
i plan for tiny bits of earth between the foot and rubber sole
i plan for squinted eyes and reddened skin

for wind blown hair
for dry skin on the cheeks
for smiles and water and laughs for weeks
for tears and weight and wrinkled skin

i plan for a desert garden
for wild grass and flowers and trees
i plan for the umbrella beneath sun and rain
for sun baked tea and mint leaves

i plan for tiny feet bare and running
for fruit and nuts and happy times
i plan for tiny smiles
for lots of fun
