Ashes to AshesBirthing 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.
