when I perish, pray embers of burning fireflies harvest me into organic soil, plead for my soul to swim to clouds of wool, dwell in the sky like dead stars.
when I perish, hide far from that uncontrollable sickness of despair that will strive to chase you. waltz there, on the fragmented earth belonging to me, waltz as if there's an unheard beat of elegant melodies, soaring through you.
when I perish, keep the fear at bay, and the hope where you can reach it. For I am not remote, I am just away, inhaling royal tides of bloodless seas.
