Dust

(J.Gowan)

And you search for a passageway to the vein
for the code that’s coveted like rain
after too many days of sun
after too many days of sun

and the ground is reaching up to the sky
its insides getting exposed
like arteries where no blood flows

and the dust is swallowing pieces of evidence
the dust is swallowing pieces of evidence
the dust is swallowing pieces of evidence
whole whole

and the sky is sheltering nothing
but a few remaining beliefs
and thoughts are dulled from too many days at sea
and thoughts are dulled from too many days at sea

and the dust is swallowing pieces of evidence
the dust is swallowing pieces of evidence
the dust is swallowing pieces of evidence
whole whole whole
