DUST

DUST

a non
exist
like droplets
of mist

a debris filled
cloud
mother's sorcery
a shroud

a ghost
a spook
a joke
a fluke

appear out
of range
spirit behaving
strange

witch's
seed
anemic
no feed

entity
no name
moth without
a flame

kept at
arm's length
not a runway
but a plank

surreal
existence
path with  the
most resistance

disappearing
acts
shadows
in black

whispers in
a room
swept away
by broom

a trick
a sham
gathered in
a pan

travelled as
dust
an invisible
gust

against
the wind
a magical
spin

a morphing
loom
to form
the moon
