notes from the understory (level 5)

June 5, 2020

such that dust without my knowing 

is a subtle swirling viscosity surrounding you & me 

always or only the ‘always’ I know as this life 

dust is the cohesion & creates coherence between us 

dust of what all of us are & have been or at least 

this planet’s numinous phenomenal ‘all of us’ as such 

its consistency heightens my facility to sense 

the dead 

whom I can’t recognize without allowing for 

what will become of me
