Ashes to Ashes
                   ________________
                   Birthing height's fall
                   in lava plunge
                   to shadows cross
                   from heaven's high grace
                   down age's frosty slope
                   to earth beneath.

                   Throw your tattering cloths aside
                   and go naked now stiff remnant
                   embraced in nets of pain
                   to break that final tape.

                   Stars in heaven's mouth
                   liquid fire held tight
                   burn cold skin that fallow lies.
                   Where now are the men
                   that shaped the stones
                   of this our heathen haven
                   in the sky.
