My Funeral Ritual
Like a thousand
Bright
Red
Burning Chinese lanterns
Set free in the water
I let you go.
Like the
Deceased
Like the ones who can
Never return.
I didn't cry.
Couldn't
How can you cry
When it's you that's died?
I let go of you
Like sand to the hurricane,
Tiny particles
Become part of the gusty wind.
Scatter
Like my dreams.
I've let you get lost
Become part of a dream
I've forgotten as I awoke..
I've
Forgotten
Me
You
Us.
