Dust Blanket

Human Being,
you are my Dust Blanket,
a coating, a layer of oil and grime

You keep me
        from the wolves
you banish
         dust and mold....

Wrap yourself around me and hold on
cling to my body like an unsure hug,
Hang from my sinews
like a mangled heart...

Chase me into dreams
                and leave me wanting
Plunge me in cold waters
                and leave me warm

Wrap me, and echo me, encircle and ensnare....

Chant my name three times
Human of mine
And without fail I shall appear
