Come to My Funeral Dressed as Your Friends and Your Friends
Come to my funeral dressed as your wood for an autumn walk in the woods. I give you permission to be late, even without good calls. If my day arrives when you had other plans, please proceed with them instead. Keep dancing. Tend your gardens. Live well. Don't stop. Think of me forever assigned to a period, a place, a people. Remember me in stories. Our moment here is small. I am too. A worldly thing among worldly things. One part per 7 billion. Make me smaller still. Repurpose my body. Mix me with soil and seed. Compost for a sapling. make my remains useful. Let me bloom and recede.
