When We Are No More
When we are no more
will there be skin to jump out of?
Will we still skinny-dip in the nothing?
Will Summer rain still feel like
a first kiss and the last?
Will there be rainy summers
and bone-bright winters?
Will there be mind-Harley’s?
Plasma shotguns for shooting
long dead ducks?
Cherries and Cheerios?
Will most things still be not worth waiting for?
Will we need more mind-flesh
or will we be skin-tight to the light?
When we are gone
will it be a so-long song
or a bye-bye blip in the never begun?
I do so hope there will be
honey in my tea at three or four o'clock
and a good book
to warm the cockles of my heart
in the now and evermore.
I do so.
