Where are you, oh death, my friend
I’ve never shook your cold hand
but I feel like I know you so well
I think about you all the time
I look for you everywhere I go
why do you avoid me like this?
why can’t you just say hi
just wave to me from afar
Tap me on my shoulder when I am asleep
hit me over the head with the rainbow
whisper in my ear and say ‘ala mai’
kiss my coffin and tell me to sleep
Look at me from the mountaintop
say to me you will visit me soon
I wait longingly for that day
when you will squeeze my hand
and take me away to that field
the field of many daylilies
lay me down on the blue thorns
let the long green grass grow over me
let them hide me with their long blades
let me be lost in the green mini jungle
let me lie there and forget the world
and let the world forget me
never to be remembered ever again
