if u were 2 die

I would get some flowers

and burn them with your corpse

and spread you over a rain cloud

to rain

down into the forest

deep into the valley

and into the river

then spread

on up the roots

into the trees

on through the branches

out through the leaves

and photosynthesize

mingle with the sky

to form a brand-new rain cloud

if i were 2 die

would you get some flowers

and burn them with my corpse

and spread me over a rain cloud?

to watch me rain

down into the forest

deep into the valley

and into the river

then spread

on up the roots

into the trees

on through the branches

out through the leaves

and photosynthesize

mingle with the sky

to form a brand-new rain cloud

where i will concede the wind

i concede to the wind

everything to the wind

the end
