Will You Still Look Cute

Will you 
still look 
cute in 
your 
coffin?
will that 
even 
matter 
after all,
will your 
garden still 
be green
when you 
head the 
clarion call.

O, will 
teardrops 
trail your 
departure,
is there 
going to 
be a value-
void?
will many 
heart still 
hold your 
picture,
how many 
will plunge 
into 
paranoid?

Would a 
duplex be 
build in 
that depth
where you 
will lie 
lame in 
serenity?
What 
beauty do 
you nurse 
with your 
breath,
love, 
legacies, 
lassitude, 
lewdness 
or laxity?
