Beautiful Dust

"Somewhere in my dust heap there's a richness." – John Steinbeck


Time Signature for a Fool

I stand ankle deep,
Clutching dirty rags in lonely fists,
Attempting to soothe my soul with bitterness.

Until you pull me further in:
You begin waltzing me through the dark waves.

You lead me back and forth,
Disregarding the rhythm I expected.

You move me.

And we dance,
Until every step glows in the midnight ocean.
