when I die (2025)
when I die (2025)
when I die–I’d rather not be mourned
rather, be thought of, when you hear a certain chord
no people unknown grieving my passing
rather, a private viewing, with people laughing wistfully
I’d want to be burned to ashes, and put in a nice niche
laid to rest near nature, somewhere where I can breathe.
sit there eternally, and watch elegant loons
paint themselves across the mountains, and ponder all dues
for when I die—I don’t want to be missed
rather, fade off peacefully into the abyss
