Poetry: Dust

FROM THE DUST

My pony had a hissy fit;
I never saw it coming.
He reared and bucked, and that was it.
Then he was off and running.

Mid-show, I rose and coughed up dust;
Thank God, I was unhurt.
I knew, to mount again I must,
Not wallow in the dirt.

I held my breath and climbed aboard
My impudent blood-bay.
We cleared the hurdles, soared and scored,
The champions of the day.

    Dead skin, remnants of time, gone by
    questions unanswered, still asking why
    Grandpa lives, over there by his chair

    CHORES

    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
