DUST PROJECT

Nguyen Phuong Linh

I was born in the city ofdust

The traffic carries dust

The rain stirs up dust

The sun shines through dust

Dust of construction, thedust of workers, dust of the street,

Dust of a river, acathedral, a kindergarten

Dust of the Long Bienbridge, of the Lenin statue, of Uncle Ho

Dust of tobacco, dust ofrubber, and dust of soap

The grandparents have longreturned to dust, the apartment block is now full of dust

The dust of a journey,

Fukuoka is clean andeverything but there is still dust,

The dust of a bomb

Dust of the brothels

Dust of the volcanoes, dustof the seaports

The dust of an island

The eyes blur with dust

The dust of a wanderingstar

I thought collecting dustfrom nostalgic places and objects meant collecting memories.

But the dust has no memory,no value, no meaning. It is just dust.

she is sexy, smart and always wears very pretty eyeliner.

while she talks, she always keeps very smooth voice and this makes people feel calm and relax.
