Viking Funeral
I packed all your bags
along with my feelings for you.
I brought it all onto a wooden ship
your name carved into the hull.
your name.
your boat.
I placed every item against the deck
and on my way back to shore
I nudged you into the waves
and gently set you ablaze.
As you burn against the horizon
I watch
and sigh.
It’s all finally gone.
At last.
I can be free.
