The Last Plumeria Flowers

The last Plumeria flowers
                                       Robert Chung

The fall equinox passed away a long ago
I’m the last flower left over

Early morning you stopped walking by 
Don't inquire of me why or how
If briefing, I must not let the sunset depart

Someday, missing me as passing by, 
You may chat with each other
Through the night till dawn breaking

Strikes me as a "death" metaphor (time-framing), but the "depart"-ed speaker, experiencing the third personage ~ " . . . chat with each other", suggests an "after-life", which is ok.
