A buoy, freshly minted, bouncing among softly rolling waves, emphatically waving goodbye as the sun falls back into the earth. The first dance with your mother, rediscovering your two left feet, and lust for life. Her calm hand steadies sea legs as you both sail into the hyacinth sunset. There’s sand in the sieve; the hourglass flips for the last time.
