Dust is mostly Dandruff

Dust is mostly Dandruff

fill my heart with something,
maybe chocolate covered cherries

something goes on behind my eyes,
your eyes too,
that great pool of thought

and the clouds are layered in strips
like bacon sizzling over a fire
some of us pay attention in reverence
to the human form & difference
chocolate covered cherries,
sweet in joy and comfort

my breath rises all up through me
tingles in my fingertips and
runs to the ends of my hair

Say, Mary

I'm glad I started life early
swimming through that starry lake
soon to fly out slowly to
glide above the surface,
holding air in my mouth and
laughing with my whole self
