A Poem

Having done fragment of poetry for my last two posts, I decided to post one I wrote. It's not political, but what the hell...

requiem

bury me if you would
in a shroud,
that my brothers and sisters,
the worms and microbes,
may enfold my body back into the earth,

that one day
a little girl
squatting before a gaily colored flower
will lean forward to inhale its scent
and in doing so,
will inhale my spirit.
