Fully Booked -1
feeble and exhausted, assume my time is near
so, I will wait for dawn when robins appear
their soothing chorus once more we can hear
while I displace the earth to house the handsome urn
of your lovely bones under the oak where it doesn’t burn
and mark the spot for them to return
unite us together when it’s my turn.
