Poetry: Dust

by Jon Coe

  • Writing Level Star

Dead skin, remnants of time, gone by
questions unanswered, still asking why
Grandpa lives, over there by his chair
parts of Grandma, gathered by a stair

Sneezing, wheezing, synuses inflamed
Uncle Patrick, never looks the same
Aunt Cynthia, scratches all night long
Cousin Jeff, is moving to Hong Kong

Bruno the dog, shares his fleas
dust bunnies, spreading their disease
Marmaduke, a cat, of annoying dander
my nostrils twitch, with his meander

From the womb, whence we came
feather dusters, make their claim
Composting, decomposing, must
ashes to ashes, and dust, to dust

    Do you see, up there, by the light,

    it's dust and cobwebs from last summer!

    What could be under my bed

    where my lover
