Would you like to hear me read this Haiku? Gin & Tonic Seizure ( #FlashFiction )
Posted in Flash Fiction with tags adam dustus, Blog, flash fiction, flash55, microfiction, writing on February 17, 2011 by dustusCarnations, chrysanthemums burn dislodged nasal septum. Footfalls crunch gravel the stiff procession trod. Hunched-backed, they snake two-by-two offering white roses.
I sneeze blood into her pink handkerchief.
“Who died?”
“My grandfather.” Her eyes hid behind fine graying blinds—don’t know her.
Restless tremors shock…
“Am I dreaming?”
“Yes,” her reply.
I collapse awake clutching my ears.
Garbage Dumps – (for #oneshotwednesday )

When only for a second care
Realize you’re trashing life
Dispatching unacceptable
Won’t make me feel alright
Damp landing filled with fecund will
Truth in fiction taken
There’s something rotting through stank pulp
Burnt stakes may awaken
Congealing molds incubate colds
Scared crows peck for hours
Decaying matter breaks rank ground
Garbage dumps sprout flowers

Footsteps Over
Posted in Image Poetry, One Shoot, One Stop Poetry with tags adam dustus, Blog, footsteps over, One Shoot Sunday, One Stop Poetry, poem, poet, Poetry, poetry online on January 30, 2011 by dustus*The following poem is offered in response to the One Stop Poetry Sunday Picture Prompt Challenge. This wonderful prompt was shot by photographer Iquanyin Moon, featured today on One Shoot Photography Sunday. Come check out some great shots & the interview by Chris Galford!
You cannot see me
Hidden beyond the frame
Roasting on a sun-caked dune
So far lost to ever explain
Spare white t-shirt
Patting sweat off face
When beads fall into
Unctuous sizzles
Shrinks in form
Penumbral stains
Kind of like us
I guess
Meaning does not stay
These footsteps raised
Over journeys gone
Hallucinating from scorching rays
As the sun beats merciless
And I whisper her name
Feeling we may only find
Footsteps over someone’s grave
