Poetry - 30 Words for Dust

30 words for dust is all he left me

Ashes, cinders, earth, powder

After he had sprayed his territory

Pulled out, dusted off and went

Sand on his boots and tracked across

Fragments of our life like grit

Beneath his feet and in-between his toes

Flakes fell all about me

Sooty grimy wisps

A marriage certificate expired

Before its lawful time

Take a walk, yeah you can

But once opened the door

The sand storm does not stop

Put your sleeve to your eyes

Bend you head real low

Taste the dust you leave
