moondust: i take some, pour it
down my throat.
the sensations fill my stomach.
i release a powder of knowing
with every breath
stardust: i hold some, drizzle it
into my hair
it dries my scalp to concrete
sets my hair golden, fizzing, spitting
burnt from tip to root
sundust: i taste some, keep it
nestled on my tongue
biting into my cheeks, exploding
blinding me inside out, nuclear and archaic
stuck in my teeth
earthdust: i rub some, all over
my body won't react
clay shell, molluscs, squirming skin
plants sprout from my fingernails, eyelashes
my neck covered
spacedust: i kiss some, light lips
my cheeks clench
it dusts my eyelids, pretty, multi-coloured
turns my belly-button into a black hole
i take in everything.
