“Bury me standing, bury me Three times. No one really drops dead from seeing Your gaunt, flitting shape in the mirror. Not mirror but grace. Forgive me for covering My eyes, for cowering under the blanket, for swatting At you when I passed a flower garden, When I shut my windows & chased you From park benches & fruit trees. I didn’t know There are people I’m not willing to ever let go, & I won’t. I haven’t.” DeathPoetryFamilyMourningElegy Book:If This Is the Age We End Discovery Source: If This Is the Age We End Discovery
