DUST-SONG by WINIFRED VIRGINIA JACKSON

Poem Explanation

First Line: FLICK ME FROM YOUR BROOM'S END
Last Line: YOU IN MY LONG ARMS!
Subject(s): DUST;

Flick me from your broom's end;
Fling me on the air;
Chase me with your silken cloth
Round your room with care.

Dig me from your corners;
Mop my brow's cold wet;
Rub me from your table tops;
Word me with your fret.

Dust I am and Master
Of your storms and calms:
I leap six feet under with
You in my long arms!
