"Ashes, ashes, all fall down."
--Ring Around the Rosies (Children's Song)
"...and we commit his body to the ground; earth to earth; ashes to ashes, dust to dust."
--Book of Common Prayer (Anglican)
We are intelligent ash. Eventually we crumble and become dust. Do the echoes of our thoughts sift through living ghosts and smudge inspiration on strange minds?

I'm so excited you're back (too excited that I think my kidneys are gonna fail me any minute now *grin*).
Loved the third stanza the most, how it captures the personal debate (verging on debacle) everyone goes through: what I/we (i.e. the couple) want vis-a-vis what I/we do not want others to see.
Cheers. ^_^
max max max! best we stay broken, indeed.
