Rays of the morning sun Encroached the attic From a very notorious Broken piece of window Exposed the little specks of dust Suspended In the rotting wooden walls. Some sticking in the peeling paint Some lying On her mother's once famous cookbooks Now being devoured By selfish silverfish and fungi. The dust Telling stories of her childhood Settled upon the rocking horse And her favourite little music box And a carton full of holiday polaroids. The dust Such a dry commodity Moistened some old memories. Reminiscence. Isn't it amazing?

The Old Attic
Rays of the morning sun Encroached the attic From a very notorious Broken piece of window Exposed the little specks of dust Suspended In the rotting wooden walls. Some sticking in the peeling paint Some lying On her mother's once famous cookbooks Now being devoured By selfish silverfish and fungi. The dust Telling stories of her childhood Settled upon the rocking horse And her favourite little music box And a carton full of holiday polaroids. The dust Such a dry commodity Moistened some old memories. Reminiscence. Isn't it amazing?
February 10,2015 I wrote this little piece after a friend of mine suggested the word "Dust" to write about :)
