When they dig up my bones
They'll find the signatures of poems
Etched into the calcium structure.
They signed off on me,
When Ioffered my life as property,
For their voices to be heard.
When you dig up my bones
Please don't move me.
The roots of trees
Are plugged Into me
The poems I write
In this vivid afterlife
Appear on the edges
Of their fragile leaves.
When they fall,
Feelfree to read them.
It will be a long writing winter,
For new ideas to begin.
But poems will soon spring up
And summer will show my best ones.
Streams nearby
Echo my torrent cry.
Meadows ensue the calm flow.
Rain falling from the sky
Bring my words back to life.
You'll hear me recite
In the splash of the crash.
If you dig up my bones
Make sure to bury meagain.
Send me down and send me deep.
I need the sleep, So the images can steep
Just Long enough for those leaves, to stay green.
