Literature Text

When I die,
I don't want to be buried
I want you to spread my ashes
Across the wind,
Across the world,
And mix me up
With the shadows of the earth.
Then mix me up -
With the particles
And notions and memories
Of my forgotten life,
That is no longer
Anything more than dust.

And When I die
Because we all must die.
Though people try
To hide from it
And bury the fact
In the back of their minds
Because if they thought
That they might die today
It might impair them
From being able live.

So, when I die,
Don't bury me in the ground,
With my body still intact,
And dressed up in some fancy gown
With nowhere else to go.
Don't let me rot
In some box,
Separated from the earth,
From my home,
From where I came from
And where I am destined to go.
