To him, in the sand

It's really no wonder
that you spin circles around me
after all these years,
spider that you are.

I'm not surprised at all
that it's taken this long
to get back to where we started,
sober and scared.

This wavelength is so much a mess,
and so much a part of me.
This story is so much stranger
than fiction.

The grandkids will be amused.
