I Wonder When I Die

I wonder when I die will,
Dove’s perch themselves on my dusk casket and sing for me.
Or if your shadows will be, 
Masked in false smiles or false tears.
As I lay motionless,
In the box that will caress me into the soil.
I wonder when I die will,
Dove’s perch themselves on my dusk casket and sing for me.
Or will they fly away with my unachieved dreams.
Attached to their legs.
