Ash Wednesday

Ash Wednesday

by Clint Schnekloth

Remember that you are dust,
and to dust you shall return.

Remember that you are just,
and to the just God you shall return.

Remember that you are just dust,
a speck of dust in the cosmos

but the cosmic crucified Christ
who also was dust
makes just the dust that was dead
and enlivens by his breath
the dust that now lives.

Which is you, dust.
And He once was dust,
though he now sits at his Father's right hand.

And you will return to him,
the God who was dust.

Just dust.
