I want to be a spec of dust
not a page shader
not a pencil broken from use
I want to be able to drift away unknowingly
to silently speak in your ear
to tell you secrets you will not hear
Don’t tell me to listen
dust doesn’t do listening
Don’t kick me around
take me home
I will fit in your pocket
Sit me on a tiny chair
dress me up how you like
When you wake I’m gone
Don’t try to understand me
just know I don’t want to chat
Don’t leave me out in the cold
I will cry
Don’t take me to where I’m safe
then disappear…
I will fly away into the night
carried by the wind
taking only my thoughts with me
Just me,
stardust.
