Dust

 

My heart breaks

 

I am unworthy

            A grain of sand

Whose dry salt tears

Thirst for water

 

Rain ,

Never to touch the ground

 

Lukewarm …

spit out

 

Only the wind loves me

Taking me to a place

I do not wish to be

 

Yet here I am…

Breathing

 

Left only with a mustard seed

 

    Below my feet, only dust
