“Dust” by Nana Lampton

Wash the Dust from My Eyes by Nana LamptonWash the dust from my eyes, out of my ears,
from all pores where the wind has lodged it.
Wash it away—whatever is left from dusty roads
of childhood Rockport, dust of dead parents.
Let me go to Mess Hall clean,
to feed as well as my horse
for tomorrow’s ride.
Break this monotony with abundant splashing
from fountains in Renaissance Rome.
Break this dead dusty road. I am going somewhere
lined with apple trees and red rose bushes.

    I know this if off topic but I’m looking
    into starting my own blog and was curious what all is needed to get set up?
    I’m assuming having a blog like yours would cost a pretty penny?
    I’m not very internet smart so I’m not 100% certain. Any
    tips or advice would be greatly appreciated. Kudos

    Appreciating the persistence you put into your website and in depth information you offer.
    It’s awesome to come across a blog every once in a while that isn’t the
    same outdated rehashed information. Fantastic read! I’ve
    saved your site and I’m adding your RSS feeds to my Google account.
