From The Properties of Dust
Too short for vocal.media, this one gets to live on Rubble...
He stands at the edge-
Tangled rubble,
entwined chaos,
a whole block
plucked out;
Opening a womb
in the ground.
He tosses a half-smoked
cigarette into the
pit, curses,
and shuffles back
to work.

The Properties of Dust was a small book I put together in 2005 for a desktop publishing class at Portland State University. Many of these pieces were written specifically for the book project, and the rest date back to as early as 1990. The pieces were accompanied by a photo or two in the original book, but, in most cases, I am using different, more recent, photos with this series of posts.
