Husband as Godzilla, Wrecking My Intricate Sandcastle

Or perhaps I want him so badly to be a wave, receding. But Dear Reader—he is not and I should not. My castles are built from seafoam mortar and all these grains of tiny glass. Children laugh in the distance and he is storming like a monster growing scales. How he stops and breathes fire. The way he towers above, tail swinging, making noises I cannot understand but so deeply want to, like singing.

He does not sing, he tramples.
