Remember me not through some shallow priest,
Throw me not to the flames like a big pot of yeast,
Don't leave me on a mantelpiece between two plastic trees,
I want to rest with dignity, not flutter in the breeze.
Decay is not so terrible, but re-assuring, friend;
To feel my body melt away, no longer hurt, or mend,
Sounds beautiful beyond what this verse can express,
So lock me in the loving earth, and let my soul regress.
Throw me not to the flames like a big pot of yeast,
Don't leave me on a mantelpiece between two plastic trees,
I want to rest with dignity, not flutter in the breeze.
Decay is not so terrible, but re-assuring, friend;
To feel my body melt away, no longer hurt, or mend,
Sounds beautiful beyond what this verse can express,
So lock me in the loving earth, and let my soul regress.
