#scattering ashes

When I am dead,

Do not bury me here

Not in soil or sand

Not far not near.

I will not be held

Not by a coffin so costly

So set me alight

And one last time watch me

Cary me close,

And pick a good spot

Somewhere green

Where you'll forget-me-not

Open my lid, and pour out my ash

Watch me take flight

On borrowed wings

Feathers faded by light

And as you release me

In body and soul

Remember me right

Do not embellish my role

I was not your gravity

So lose not your way

But don't reduce me to tragedy

Nor stack me to weigh

Be kind in my name,

Throw seeds to a crow

Pick up the litter

The world had to throw

And know that no ending

No matter its rhyme

Will come and be painless
