I breathe
My heart beats
I feel
I love

Then what?

After breath has gone
and beats have stopped
I what?
Am I mourned?

And if the answer is "yes"
Then how?

Is it a bit of jewelry?
I am not a bit

Is it a coat or hat?
I am neither

Is it a house?
I am not a house.

What I am is;

A tear in your eye,
a smile on your lips,
a sigh.
A memory.

I will always be that but
I am not things.
I never was.

On the green of old hotel
carpet

Multi colored
snakes

gather like a
pride

of lions around
food

where only two can
dine

at once

The light of summer
now lost
my soft green carpet
turns brown and crunchy

I have reached an age
Where I should be
Responsible
Wise
Thoughtful

52

Still

I'd rather be a little irresponsible
To play and have fun
Laughing
Curious
Silly

So I will
So there

necessarily followed better
if sung with no rhyme or reason
just tell them straight up, kids will listen.

No,
Sing

Please, ok?
