After I leave this lifelessness
and crash the home of worms
(along with other immaterial substances)
it'll be then sun and moon will dip
in luminous mourning.
They'll bleach these bones,
force them to weep in their
marrow, absorb pithy sighs,
sponge moans of eulogies,
make rock neighbors knock
hallelujah choruses, stretch
root congregations
until they speak in tongues.
It will be then, I'll reach
for sporangium's quilt,
neatly folded
among shifting faults,
and warm myself
when your pulverized
yesterdays get lonely and cold.

Poetry: When you bury me
by Paul Morgan
Not dead, but sleeping.
I was not dead, but sleeping
when you went and buried me.
Can you not now hear me calling
from the old
by JRR
When I take my final breath
And they prepare to lay me in the ground
There are things I need you to remember
Know I will
When you bury me
down deep in the earth
I want you to know,
for whatever it's worth-
That I always loved you
more than myself
When you bury me
hold me in your heart
As they lower my body into the cold earth
and you must part with my physical existence
In Memory of My Grandfather, William O. Jones
Oh, my loved ones, please, don't cry
Tears of bitterness and sorrow;
I leave
