Challenge
Ashes to ashes...
"How important is anything that could burn to ash in a few minutes" (Barbara Kingsolver, "La Lacuna) Poetry or prose.
isn't everything just bits of matter
disguised as a desk petunia person
swirling whirling twisting turning
nothingness if not invisible energy
once life spirit vigor vitality being
passes expires extinguished stilled
all remits to indistinguishable ash
dead unimportant without breath
