dust cover

The ground is hard like flint and when the wind blows across the plains, dust covers the squatters and all that they carry.

It is illustrated in black and white by Tolkien - who also designed the dust cover.

A thick blanket of dust covers the stairs, and it gets stuffier the farther down we go.

I kicked at the gravel, letting the dust cover my legs.

A thick layer of gray dust covers the dark wood pews where hundreds meet for worship services.
