i
as i die, do not
delay my departure to
heaven
let my life
go quickly like a
gazelle transforming
herself into a
tiger, or a kiss
headed towards the
moon
do not resuscitate the
pain & humility of being
tethered to a body where
i am no longer
welcomed
ii
if you want a
soul to care for,
water the flowers that
blossomed into joy
just for
us
iii
if you want some
one to cherish, cherish
our friends & children
everywhere
share the laughter of
your happy
heart
iv
if you need a
purpose for living,
recite the love written on
every page of our
lives
then keep
writing
v
if you yearn to
know how to go
on
watch the
clouds
vi
don’t worry
where i’ve gone
i’ll always love
you
we’ll talk
soon
