MAGICAL HEALING DUST REVISED
There is peppery cayenne
Rich, red, and stinging
Think of all the dusty protection
it’s bringing
Keeping my beloved dogs from
Crawling under the porch mat
Keeping sharp=toothed possums
From establishing habitats
Then there is Sangre de Drago
dust
Magical healer when a paste
Healing skin sun-debased
But when a fiery, resinous smoke
so dense
Lit, as if, an aromatic incense
No demons dare cross our
threshold
Russian folktales have us enter
The mysterious bathhouse at
midnight
To meet the magical water sprite
Sprinkling powdered flower dust
To ease us through the fear and
mistrust
How can we suppress tropical
cyclones
Living in a mobile home I fear
hurricanes
Seems impossible to charm winds
and violent rains
But this weekend we have dust
from the Sahara Desert
Taming the swirling of heat and
humidity
Nature’s magical spell to help us
avert
Sparing us from destruction and
hurt
If only it lasted longer
Dust
Dust
A phenomenon to displease
We sure do tend to wheeze and
sneeze
It brings unease, yet to clean it
is a breeze
When we show our expertise
With dust that will appease
Our daily needs…
