lay me down where the earth is kind
where the roots curl soft around my bones

lay me down on a bed of quiet waves
where the tide carries without question
and from the shore, it scrubs my name

lay me down beneath a sky too tall
where the stars do not blink, do not watch
where the night is endless, and i am small,
where nothing reaches for me anymore.

lay me down to sleep, 𝘮𝘺 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦.
