Stalks of wheat are punished
by the hail.
Winds riot against the battered pickup.
Worn boots press the mud.
He carries the Earth under his
Nails,
but the combines are
useless now.
The Properties of Dust
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.
