Poetry: Dust

Spattering of dirt caught in the air,

The minuscule bits and pieces of hair,

Flakes of skin cells cast to the side,

Upon non-disturbed spaces is where they reside.




This amalgam mixture goes where it goes,

More often than not winds up in a nose,

The act incites a sneeze and ejection once more,

Before the dust once again settles to the floor.




And then the dust will once again find flurry,

When disturbed from an object again in a hurry,

A cycle it will find it is sure to repeat,

The return to the air, a gift from ones' feet.

    Do you see, up there, by the light,

    it's dust and cobwebs from last summer!
