From the Vault of Dust

That dust of the whirlwind will cough or spurt, we will think we heard a voice from the dust, and off we go onto another spiritual quest. The dust in our lungs makes us aware that we have a share in the divine, as our raspy voices sound so much like the congested spewing of the god. Old dusty tomes and dustier phrases will inevitably collect around this new whirlwind as they collected around the old. Piles and piles of dust, human history and longing and trial and error as so much dust.

  2. My interpretation is that it is about possibilities, personalized, making a wake-up call. It’s a beautiful poem.
