When it reaches me there will be a marigold of fire
brilliant as an eye opening in my hand. |
There will be a light rain of singing
as I am carried down river in a boat of leaves. |
When I die there will be one second of fear
as when Carol reaches out at night
to lay her hand on the soft of my throat.
Fear will leave that quickly
as when she rolls against me in our bed. |
