I need no ashes sketched 
into my forehead to
bring home the
reality of
death
Mortality is magnified by
the relentless ravaging
of a virus among a
people who are
not able to
be apart
Ashes are redundant
when death is so
prominent.  I'd
much rather
have a
smiley
face
Ashes to ashes
dust to dust
I get it
