Encapsulate me in a void of cotton

with chloroform instead of endless sky

so I may dream of things I’ve long forgotten

and be with you again before I die.

Cremate me in a flame of purest blue,

so I may be reminded of your face

the eyes that held the mystery of you,

then willingly could I accede to grace.

Bestrew my ashes far beyond forever

then chant a benediction for my soul

for if in heaven’s height we are together

some saintly miracle will make me whole.

I pray each day for life to still my heart

what God hath joined let death not put apart.
