Beauty out of Bones

Even When I Am Gone (I Will Create Beauty)
Flowers will grow upon my grave.
I can be beautiful in death, too, don’t you see?

I can make life

even if I die.

You see,

flowers will grow upon my grave;

my bones will be a trellis for daisies to

dance upon.

I will create life and beauty

even if I am gone.

And maybe more so.

So do not mourn me:

water the flowers upon my grave

and watch them grow

more than I could have dared.


I would be more beautiful as a playground

for pansies,

than as the imperfect mess that I am now,

as I breathe

and walk about

and live a life

a very fucked up life.

Who am I?

What am I?

Not something that feels worth it.

No, just let daises grow upon my grave.
