when it is
my final time,
i make it here
clear.
for my first choice
my wish,
is to go like
all the critters we see,
lying in the woods,
enjoying a last
long, lingering
Final look.
this body
once warm
slipping into
Mother earth
in its very own
time.
second way
i'd like,
is to go like
the
ancient Zoroastrianism
practitioners
did do.
or the monks
high among the
peaks of the
snow covered
Himalyan peaks
of Tibet

mixed in thoroughly,
with those of
my puppyhead
and her magficient
ancestors.
fling theses ashes
high overhead,
while the winds
are blowing
strongly along.
hike to the top
a high and lonely
peak,
open the little
baggie of plasticky.
release these ashes,
of us who loved
each other So,
to ride the winds
forever together,
throughout all of
eternal time!

i really like the way it feels now to me.
