Silver Ashes

Silver ashes falling from the sky.

A bird flies past,

oblivious

to the changes arriving

to change a life

that is already broken.

If we have to give up something up

-for another life-

What is it going to be?

Knowing Pluto

will take everything 

away from us.

An Underworld

that wants our lives

for us.

Only we 

act

as though

we don't even 

want it.

Giving it up like an unwanted gift,

and 

asking for it back

after burning it

to ashes.
