A laden coffin bloomed for me & I knew total peace.
So, I want it written my wishes for when I finally am deceased.
Bury me in linen wrappings no box or basket will suit better than Earth for me.
If you burn me, muddy me up in a drip-castle to be washed away by the sea.
Once you’ve planted me in family ground give me a gravestone and a seat.
Let it etch the usual details but end it with “I am listening…have a seat.”
Bring blooming bulbs for my rectangle & plant one for each time you see me.
Bulbs with blooms for all seasons will naturally light the way for me.
A laden coffin bloomed for me and I knew total peace.
