How to describe the flow of an hourglass

I'm thinking of somewhat of a poetic way to describe how time flows, via an hourglass. Does sand simply 'flow' through an hourglass? Drip doesn't sound applicable, and 'stream' is just basically flow.

Basically, what's another applicable word to describe sand moving through an hourglass?
