“Dreams and Dust” – Day 4 of National Poetry Month

Dreams and dust
Dreams and dust
And hours and hours alone
Building and planning
Planning and building
Pacing the rooms, breathing in pain
Labored
Resting
Stretched beneath a wild, sprawling ceiling
Ten thousand tiles wider than remembered
Staring, waiting, longing, dreaming
Folding dust until it falls
Stacked particles
Statuesque collapsing
Excited by a liquid
Alive in water
Wetted dust
Wet dreaming
Dreams and dust and water
And seconds and minutes and hours and hours
Putting it together
Dreams on dust on water
