After Life

I think about what your bones

will speak

once you have left your body

I mean the soul you

the real you

What will you leave behind

will you have left behind

your unkindness

or those things

you say

when you think

no one is listening

someone is

always listening

so be careful of what

you speak

I hear them

and the laughter they leave

and genuinely hope

it's not about me
