Dust

.
a sliver of hope even for a moment
is near sublime and raises dust
—don’t wait!
dust drifts and settles,
but can be shaken off:

we do ourselves justice
when we shake-off dust
—and when it’s shaken off
we change and raise more dust
(in this world at least, to be alive,
to change, raises dust)
so—
………. before recycling to dust,
dust and its shaking-off’s
a must
