Eulogy Out
The glass folding in, folding out, folding around me,
Beautiful colors to all you watching from a distance;
Outward to inward, so death can claim a finder's fee,
Hoping to dismay the weak one who takes the chance.
Beautiful colors to all you watching from a distance;
Outward to inward, so death can claim a finder's fee,
Hoping to dismay the weak one who takes the chance.
Darker colors will make me seem way too white,
Whiter colors will quite possibly show my veins;
Oddly, patterns will not do me justice in this light,
So please apply enough red rouge to hide the pains.
Already gone, no one stands by my open casket,
Having been this way at least a thousand times before;
Flowers wilted, no new attendees budding a lament,
On my way to fall alone and afraid here in the floor.
