Hourglass
by Megan Warren
Thick thin thick.
Sand funnels through and scatters, filling the bottom.
The top runs out.
The bottom is full.
Flip.
The top is the bottom.
The bottom is the top.
Sand funnels through and scatters, filling the top.
The bottom runs out.
Flip.
Shattered.
The sand drains through your fingers and scatters, littering the floor.
Flip.
The sand is gone.
