Dusting Off Faith

The pastor whispers ashes to ashes- dust to dust like a pilot says, there'll be a little turbulence in the bus but in the throng there's ripples of panic and madness people spitting up grit with every quivering breath. Now its a game to see who can hold it together while beating back the momentum of death... as the plane rocks back and forth as the pastor stumbles over the word, everyone's dusting off a soothing prayer while looking down into the throat of the earth.
