Abandoned Spirit

Sawdust hovers in atmosphere
moist rich and heavy
flamed by sliced sun rays

A spirit slides through, stirs
the silt of sawdust and dustbunnies
into vortices swirling, following
to a separate room

Cataracted windows black light
the star's beams from lemon
to mango to deep pomegranate
that clings to swirling dust
like silt at the bottom
of the ocean.
