Swept Away

by Maria Terezia Ferencz

I am always only
just
a breath away
from decay
delusions of time
enough
swept away
under the rug
there it lies
lies to us
whispers of time
we have
not
enough
before we
our dust
lying under the rug
pulled so darkly over
our delusions of time
swept away
by death

"we have not enough before we our dust." Missing a word? Or did you mean "before us?" The rest is lovely.

... wonderful... the words wash over me like a melody.....
