Adapted from a National magazine Award-winning poem, Dust braids two memories from a poet's writer's youth. In one memory, the young man remembers a last moment with a lover. In the other memory the young man recalls his final hours with his dying grandfather. Ultimately, this contemplative examination of the nature of grief becomes a poetic meditation of 'water, skin and dust.'
