When We Played Chase with Dust Devils
Long, long ago dust devils
spun across
Our childhood playground
where the school used to be
And we played chase with
them across the sand
As they whipped up dry earth
and long-dead leaves
They were a little scary
in their speed
The way they funneled and
circled around us
Malignant faces that
appeared for moments
And disappeared again – surely
only dust?
I didn’t think they meant
us any harm
But looking back just now -
I’m not so sure
