DUST
Dust, tentative
shameful, awaits death's coming
and going
to dare its approach.
Fearful of vultures
of rats
of maggots and worms
dust abides
waiting quietly
to settle upon its prey.
It may take an eternity
or an instant
but dust finds its way
wherever it wishes.
Dust, afraid
arrives eventually.
Dust, unaware
need not hide
ought not fear.
Dust wins, despite itself.
Dust needs more self-esteem.
