Earth-to-Earth

[ChristopherSea]

71d, I really like the deconstruction of the burial committal prayer that you have done in the poem, from earth to earth, as a standalone in the title to the ash to ash and dust to dust elaborations in the body. You visuals are potent. I have never tried to imagine the cremation of my Dad. The French tone poem that you reference is Danse Macabre (sp) and very apropos. I was wondering if you might reconsider ‘dance’ in L3, because of your use of danse in L4. It could be an opportunity to replace a slight redundancy with a specific favorite of hers (waltz, tango, ballet, etc…). Just a thought to consider. Thanks for sharing your poignant piece./Chris
