At Least Once
At least once
lay your body in a boneyard.
While you are young enough
linger with the remains of the dead,
perhaps rest against a mournful angel.
Soon the fear of non-survival or survival
will leave you.
Heaven and hell will both pass away
like smoke from a cigarette,
you will commence to relax
like a well-loved woman.
