Ashes

Taking my part in Ashes to Go... or perhaps Ashes in Library.

Soon to take my post

In the library,

Offer ashes to whomever

Walks in.

Clerical collar?

Check.

Holy reading?

Check.

I look the part

I know the part

I sometimes even

Fake the part

Though I know the ordination

Sunk deep deep

To a place it can never

Be removed.
