Ashes to Ashes

Ash contained in an urn,
142 pounds of flesh
reduced to almost weightless,
white and grey flakes.

Spread under a redwood
they will soon
fade into the earth
to nourish new growth.

Thrown into the air
they float on the breeze,
separated yet
one with the universe.

But her humanity lives on
in those who will remember.
