Dissipation

There’s a smell like honeysuckle

in the morning dew-drop air.

And as the sun evaporates the fog,

I am evaporated too,

lifted up into the sherbet sky of a Springtime dawn

until I am dissipated out to fine motes of dust

which scatter wildly in the wind

until they find a far-away shore and settle

as refugees amongst the grains of sand

on the dunes of an ancient ocean floor.
