Dust

It’s simple, 

I am not beautiful enough to stop anything. 

I would be ok dying with a witness, 

Becoming nothing,

Having meant to at some point. 

It’s not just me—the train was tipping,

The joke was funny, 

Nature was always there 

And I was never out of hope 

Long enough to love it.
