When I finally
die, I shall not be dead,
My rounded hip
& my bent tilted head,
Shall then
become the snail´s spiral shell,
And convert into
water, within life´s well,
My raised grey
brow & my stepping toe,
My bent arms,
crooked legs, & all I know,
Will become
whale´s breath & morning mist,
Becoming
feathered plume & soft blown kiss,
My sight,
gestures & my slight softened smile,
My nods & my
winks, no longer linger a while,
They´ll be the
dancing leaves & waves on seas,
And be plovers
wings & falling fruit from trees,
And my shivering
flesh, shall be merely in dreams,
Soft turning in the
eddy, of cool spiraling streams,
In my voice, shall
no longer be the moan of love,
But instead shall
become, gentle cooing of dove,
Death is merely a
recycled conversion of cells,
Bypassing man´s ideas,
of his heavens & hells.
