Dust

The circles that throw out of me,

like fragments of useless things,

my vision-

they settle, it’s curtains half closed,

on the sight of the things above me.

 

They are the collected dust of years and existence,

and I am an observer.

 

I look at them for a while, and then I go away.

 

I go away to sleep.

I go away to shut my curtains completely.

 

 

But when I go away, I come back.

and things haunt me before falling on the blanketing things that keep me warm.

 

I am understanding the concept of love.

When you love, you fall.

When you love, you fall.

When I love, I will fall.

 

My Mother and Father are falling.

 

But they stop falling when I look at dust.

Everything stops falling

when I look at dust.
