Special Delivery

I went to collect a parcel.
And you joined me.
For a moment I closed
my eyes and breathed –
casting the self away.
My body, heart and soul
in the same place.
In that moment I saw
the earth, river and
mountains melt in the air.
And the melancholy hooting
of the owls, singing
their nightly song.
I wondered where in this
world is there any dust?
