How to Bury Me

Dig the soft earth
Strike. Strike. Strike.
Strike the ground.
And let down the casket.
The whiteness suffocate me.
Give me a lump
Of wet earth, down in fistfuls.
Let me down gently.
The casket hurts me so.

And let down the casket.
The whiteness suffocate me.
Give me a lump
Of wet earth, down in fistfuls.
Let me down gently.
The casket hurts me so.
