Morning coffee on a Sunday when We don't go to church. We never do. We will paint a still life of the stillest life When time cannot be kept; it can only be seen. And the dust will gather, as dust it ought to do. It will cover us, monochromatic, But skin is dust too. And so we wait and wait And bombs will drop and Earth will shake but we Will not be taken as we sit on the end of the world Together, morning coffee in hand as the sunlight Bounces off your skin in the most perfect way. Nothing exists outside of us, or if it does We will not open our eyes to it. Dust will settle, And we will settle that we will be dust together someday.

In Dust
Morning coffee on a Sunday when We don't go to church. We never do. We will paint a still life of the stillest life When time cannot be kept; it can only be seen. And the dust will gather, as dust it ought to do. It will cover us, monochromatic, But skin is dust too. And so we wait and wait And bombs will drop and Earth will shake but we Will not be taken as we sit on the end of the world Together, morning coffee in hand as the sunlight Bounces off your skin in the most perfect way. Nothing exists outside of us, or if it does We will not open our eyes to it. Dust will settle, And we will settle that we will be dust together someday.
