Bag of Sand

She is not a bag of sand.
She won't keep your pick-up stable
as you drive through winter.
She won't save you
from the coming flood.
She won't hold the curtain
for your performance.
She can't be replaced
when you bring a bag
to the beach.

She can be embraced
and carried
without your back getting sore
if your posture is good.

She can generate her own heat,
and you can feel it
it you understand
she is not a bag of sand.
