in a former life

I crammed ripe blueberries into my mouth

separated the trash for recycling

we drew up wills

saved our money

and soaked in bubbles

limiting water from the tap

we’d finish leftovers

help our friends

talk on and about the revolution

to dust you won’t return
not quite
to keep watch we’ll post a guard
of armored roses, fortified tombs
to send you off a submarine
to send you off a diving suit

sister fly, brother beetle
mother clay, father rain
we return to you your child
with this plastic wreath
