    Ashes

    One more depressing poem from me, then I go back to atmospheric and fantastic. Depressing poems seem too cliché to me.
    -----

    Ashes...
    They flow down the river,
    They lie on the ground;
    Lifeless,
    Yet warm.

    Ashes...
    Ashes that hang in the air,
    Burning your throat.
    Hot, grey ashes
    On a cold, grey morning.

    Ashes...
    What became of that which I loved?
    Ashes.
    Where does my future lie?
    Ashes.
    When the end comes:
    Ashes,
    All ashes
    Scattered on the cold wind.
    "Etiquette is etiquette. He kills his mother but he can't wear grey trousers."
    -James Joyce

    Hopeful ashes of a phoenix. Yet warm. Good write.
