An End to Doubt

After it was quiet,
the dust reflected
on the dust.
There was an end to doubt.
The stars were shown
reflected
in the stars,
the brackish, white bleeding
triangles
of light.
There was an end to doubt.
And all things,
men and the moon,
men and the remainders
of men,
Cried out
And the stubbly,
now overgrown sea-
All, all things
a part of the dust,
not dead.
