PPC#19 As the sky lowers [257] (dream dust)
PPC#19 As the sky lowers [257] (dream dust)

As the sky lowers

Dreamdust sifted over embers —
a desperate attempt
to assuage the dying fire.
Oh to live and die again!
Before it was cut the tree had provided shade
while a child attempted to touch the sky
flying high on her swing.
Now logs die to keep her warm
snug under an worn-out afghan
she once wove — long ago.
Dare we ask what were her dreams,
what now her future —
as the sky lowers to caress her flesh
and kiss her cheek.
