Casey Meehan and the Delta Still #2 by Thax Douglas

dust during
construction forms
living dust-snowballs
that stick together
forming curious
monsters by the kids
playing around
waiting for the building
to be finished-
The monsters melt,
like movies
waiting to be made,
waiting for the
movie palaces to begin
sipping dust
from the air, accreting
enough bricks
to seal the kids
in a tomb of
matinee happiness that
that can be opened
at any time
